What are Meter Mechanics?

Meter Mechanics are skilled technicians who install, maintain, test, and repair meters used to measure utilities such as electricity, gas, or water. They ensure that meters are functioning accurately so that customers are billed correctly and utility companies can monitor usage. Their work often involves troubleshooting faulty meters, replacing worn parts, and sometimes upgrading equipment to newer technology. Meter Mechanics may work for utility companies, municipal agencies, or private contractors, and typically require specialized training or certification.

What are some common challenges Meter Mechanics face in the field and how can they be addressed?

Meter Mechanics often encounter challenges such as working in adverse weather conditions, troubleshooting complex mechanical or electronic meter issues, and ensuring accurate readings under time constraints. Adapting to new metering technologies and maintaining strong attention to safety protocols are also essential. Addressing these challenges involves staying current with training, maintaining a well-organized toolkit, and collaborating closely with utility teams and customers to resolve issues efficiently and safely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Meter Mechanic, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Meter Mechanic, you need strong mechanical aptitude, electrical troubleshooting skills, and a high school diploma or technical certification in electronics or a related field. Familiarity with meter testing equipment, hand tools, and sometimes utility-specific software systems is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication are valuable soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure accurate meter installation, maintenance, and repairs, which are critical for reliable utility service and customer satisfaction.

Job description

MPU is working on a strategic initiative to install water meter encoder receiver transmitters (ERT) in homes and businesses throughout our water service territory. Instead of a customerโ€™s water meter communicating its reading to a touchpad on the outside of the home or business requiring a meter reader to walk to every location, ERTs transmit the customerโ€™s water meter reading to a reading device as our meter readers drive by the location. This technology will allow MPU to read our customersโ€™ water meter every month alleviating estimated bills every other month.

Weโ€™re looking for a full-time temporary employee to help install ERTs and change out water meters throughout the community. The primary task is to change water meters and install encoder receiver transmitters (ERTs) via pre-scheduled customer site visits while also inspecting the customerโ€™s property for cross connections of the water system, but work also includes taking readings of water meter dials, inspecting meters and reporting irregularities to the Key Accounts & Meter Services Manager, and operating meter software programs.

Examples of Duties and Responsibilities:

Changes and replaces water meters and their endpoints for periodic upgrades using adjustable wrenches and basic hand tools.

Inspects for cross connections, and recommends appropriate cross connection control.

Takes readings of water meter dials and records volume used.

Inspects meters for defects, damage, and unauthorized connections.

Reports broken seals or other irregularities to Meter Services Manager.

Sample of Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

Completion of a High School Diploma.

Strong mechanical aptitude.

Familiar with general business computer applications.

Excellent customer service skills.


Starting Pay Rate: $22.97/hour

If you are looking for a flexible schedule and the opportunity to work on a project that may take until Summer 2027, contact us for more information or apply today!
