LET’S TELL YOU MORE
We are looking for a Smart Metering Field Technician to join our team based out in the field across our Midlands patch!
You’ll be overseeing the quality, safety, and customer experience of our smart metering programme, working closely with our contract partners.
In this role, you’ll act as a first line assurance auditor, reviewing installations carried out by third‑party engineers to ensure strict adherence to health and safety regulations, while maintaining the highest standards across a network of over 600,000 installed smart meters.
The position centres on three key areas: Health & Safety, ensuring all installations meet regulatory and operational standards; Connectivity, monitoring the performance and reliability of smart meter communications; and Customer KCI (Key Customer Interactions), delivering a seamless and positive end‑user experience.
Alongside auditing and oversight, you’ll contribute to continuous improvement by identifying additional requirements and supporting occasional installations where needed, playing a vital role in driving quality and consistency across the smart metering.
We’ll provide you with a van and the tools you need to do your role with us! With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week, working Mon – Fri.
