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.
