How to become a meter reader?

To become a meter reader, you need a high school diploma or GED certificate, a valid driver’s license, and a clean driving record. The other qualifications you need for a career as a meter reader are the ability to read, record, and report data accurately. Your primary job responsibilities are to read utility meters at homes or buildings along your assigned route, record usage data for utilities like water, gas, and electricity, and report that information to your employer—usually a utility company. You can find meter reader jobs without experience, as on-the-job training and partnering with experienced meter readers are standard practice.
