Meter Reader
1 week ago
We are looking for a self-motivated and customer-focussed individual to join our team of Meter Readers in the Affinity Water Southeast supply area.
**_ The role_**
As a Meter Reader, you will spend your time out and about in our supply region, taking water meter readings in line with our billing schedules to inform customers of their water usage.
You’ll prioritise your daily workload to ensure that that all meters are read in a timely and efficient manner by way of drive by or walk by. You’ll also identify faults with reading equipment or installed meters, and work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to resolve these faults.
**_ What you’ll need_**
To work to a set schedule, you’ll need to be excellent at managing your time, meeting deadlines and prioritising your workload. You’ll also be comfortable working alone and working with others to solve problems.
You’ll be familiar with using core IT systems such as MS Excel, and you can quickly pick up the systems involved to read meters accurately and provide relevant information and reports.
Whilst experience in water or the broader utilities industry is beneficial, this isn’t essential as we'll invest the time to ensure you're fully trained to industry best practise. You’re a self-starter with a great work ethic and who’s keen to learn.
You will need a full UK driving licence. Travelling between sites couldn’t be easier as you’ll be given a company van to get yourself around.
**_ What's in it for you?_**
In return for your excellent work, you'll be entitled to a competitive salary, double-matching SMART pension plan, on-the-job training and opportunities to undertake further education, and a holiday allowance increases with length of service. So the longer you stay, the more you gain. You'll also receive a company vehicle, work phone and uniform.
**_ Ready to dive in?_**
Affinity Water recognises the benefits of greater diversity in our workforce to better reflect the communities we serve. We are committed to building a more inclusive culture where every member of our workforce can thrive.
