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.
