Job Overview What Meter Readers Do: Meter readers check the level of gas or electricity used by customers. They go from building to building and read meters that measure the usage level. They then record the usage level in a handheld computer (or on paper sheets) and give the information to the utility company, which uses it to bill customers (both homes and businesses) for the amount of energy they have used.Meter readers are also responsible for checking the meters for damage or service issues.Meter readers spend a lot of time in neighborhoods as they read meters. These meters are normally located near the back of a building or sometimes in the building itself (usually in the basement). The meters have a series of numbers or dials that show how much energy the residents used within a certain period of time. Meter readers may need to use a flashlight to see the dial, and may use a pencil or a hand-held computer to record the amount of power used.Because meter readers are often the only utility company workers to come into regular contact with customers, they keep an eye out for any readings that may be unusually high or low.Readings that are much higher than normal may be a sign of a gas leak, while very low readings may mean that a connection is bad. If there are any problems with the meter or connecting cables, meter readers note this information and report it to the service department for repairs.Work Environment: Meter readers can expect to:
  • Work in all weather conditions including: RAIN, SNOW, EXTREME HEAT AND COLD,
  • Encounter dogs and other potential hazards in the field during a normal workday.
