Job Details
Job Location : Holland - Holland, MI 49423
Position Type : Full Time, Project-based
Salary Range : $15.00 Hourly
Job Category : General Labor
UMS is seeking hard-working, self-motivated individuals, to fill
Entry-level Utility Meter Installers
roles.
A background or previous experience in fieldwork or utility installs is preferred but not required as we provide step-by-step training, for (entry-level) Installers.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS UMS has designed a
Pay-for-Performance
structure, in an effort, to reward our strong performers.
A UMS Meter Installer makes a minimum of
$15 per hour . Meter Installers are also able to earn
Production Based Incentive
payments, on each paycheck. The Production Based Incentive is linked to performance (i.e. the number of meters and ancillary items that you properly install).
At UMS, we value hard work and recognize the role employee benefit programs play in your decision to join our company. In this position, you will have the opportunity to participate in an overall Comprehensive Benefits Program (health, dental, vision, life, AD&D), after 30 days of service with the company.
Monday - Friday work week, occasionally Saturdays
Weekly Paycheck
401(k) Retirement Account
Numerous opportunities for growth and advancement, within the company
Benefits may be canceled or changed at the discretion of the company unless otherwise required by law.
THE POSITION Because UMS understands that there is always room for enhancing your skillset (as a meter installer, technician, laborer, etc.), you can expect to receive continuous feedback from your supervisor! By tracking your progress and identifying obstacles we, as a team, are better able to help you improve performance, production, and quality!
Once you are comfortable with the process, you will be expected to check, replace, and test meters on your own. This will involve the following day-to-day duties:
Removing the existing meters and fit for a new smart meter; sometimes replace a dual check valve and/or curb stop valve
Visiting customers premises
Working in a team environment, with supervisors and other installers
Following UMS standards of safety, productivity, and quality of work
Reporting to the shop/conex at the beginning of every shift
Installing the transmitter and activating it
Verifying proper orientation of each new meter
Carrying out tests to ensure the new meter is working
Accurately enter meter data, and other information required, into handheld device
Communicating with customers in a clear and professional manner
Successfully removing and replacing meters involves more than just labor/construction functions. One of the most important components of this position is completely and accurately entering data into a handheld tablet. Ensuring that meter data is properly entered, at every install, helps prevent future system/software troubleshooting, billing delays, and possible billing errors.
With that being said, the daily work YOU perform, in this role, directly affects a city or utility's communication system.
Qualifications
Must have a valid
Drivers License
Must pass
drug screening
and
background check
Must have your own
vehicle , with storage capability, and
proof of insurance
Must be okay with heat, dirt, small spaces, etc.
Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs., bend and stoop repetitively, and work outdoors in all weather conditions
Basic tools required.
Work in a team environment.
Previous plumbing and/or mechanical skills.
Have clear written and verbal communication skills.
Able to work all required shifts.
Achieving standards of safety, productivity, and quality of work.
Organized and Detail Oriented
Reliability and Dependability
Should have a positive attitude and willingness to learn
Maintain and follow required attire and grooming standards
Ability to communicate professionally to customers
Applicants with prior experience installing meters will be given priority.
