Summary

Morson Edge are working with a leading provider of metering services within the UK energy retail sector to recruit a Meter Reader to cover the Torquay and Exeter areas.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working outdoors, is self-motivated and wants the flexibility to manage their own schedule.

As a Meter Reader, you will be responsible for collecting accurate meter readings from both commercial and residential properties, using a handheld device. You will represent some of the UK’s leading energy suppliers while delivering a professional and friendly service to customers.

The Opportunity

Initially, you will complete training before moving into the field. Each day, you will plan your own route and visit properties across your allocated area.

Meters can be located inside or outside properties, so you’ll need to plan your day effectively to maximise access. You’ll spend your time walking or driving between properties, depending on the area you cover.

Once on site, you’ll accurately record meter readings using a handheld device while providing excellent customer service.
