We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and service-minded Water Meter Reader to carry out periodic water consumption readings at residential properties, apartment buildings, commercial sites, and public facilities. This role is essential for ensuring accurate consumption data, supporting correct billing, identifying irregularities, and contributing to the efficient operation of water utility services. The position requires frequent travel within assigned areas, the ability to organize daily routes independently, and a consistent focus on data quality and accuracy.
The Water Meter Reader performs scheduled site visits, accesses metering points in accordance with company procedures, and records readings using paper-based or digital tools. In many cases, the person in this role is also expected to visually inspect the condition of the meter, report faults, tampering, leaks, or access issues, and clearly communicate any problems encountered. Strong interpersonal skills are therefore important, as the role may involve direct contact with residents, property managers, business owners, and technical representatives.
This position requires punctuality, integrity, and compliance with safety regulations, privacy standards, and data handling procedures. The ideal candidate is comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions, traveling efficiently between multiple locations, and maintaining high levels of accuracy even during repetitive tasks. Familiarity with mobile devices, data collection applications, and geolocation systems is a significant advantage.
Beyond simply recording consumption figures, this role contributes to the overall quality of water utility services, because timely and accurate data helps improve operational processes, reduce billing disputes, and support targeted technical interventions. In some environments, the role may also include delivering missed-reading notices, taking photographic documentation of meters, and completing daily reports on completed activities.
We are seeking a responsible, self-directed, and attentive professional who can follow assigned routes and adapt to changing operational needs. If you are interested in a field-based role with a direct impact on public service efficiency and customer satisfaction, this opportunity can offer a solid and meaningful career path within the energy and utilities sector.
