????Position Overview

As a Meter Reader Technician you safely and accurately record customer gas meter readings, inspect meters for damage or leaks, and report equipment issues.

Meter Reader Technicians have assigned routes each day. The meter reader will pick up a handheld device from the local office, which has the route for the day. At the end of the day the handheld device is turned in.

Our “mobile office” approach to work means that you will never have the same day twice. Our technicians work from their personal vehicle utilizing the handheld devices to ensure clear and complete services.

What You’ll Do

• Read Meters: Walk or drive assigned routes to read gas meters accurately using a handheld electronic device.
• Inspect Equipment: Check meters, piping, and regulators for visible damage, corrosion, tampering, or leaks.
• Report Issues: Document broken seals, stuck dials, hazardous conditions, or suspected gas leaks immediately to dispatch.
• Customer Service: Answer basic customer questions politely and direct complex billing or service inquiries to the main office.
• Access Properties: Open meter boxes, clear minor debris or vegetation blocking access, and secure gates or property boundaries when leaving.
• Follow strict safety protocols and federal and local regulations.
• Communicate professionally with homeowners and members of the public.
