Gas Meter Mechanic
About The Position
The Meter Mechanic turns utilities back on after construction. The work includes basic gas pipe assembly and configuration, and relighting household and commercial appliances. Experience with plumbing or HVAC can help a mechanic progress more quickly toward working independently. The role requires handling light tools and working in varied weather conditions. Employees must pass and retain Operation Qualifications (OQs) under Con Edison standards; employment is contingent on passing the required qualifications during training. If an employee fails a required requalification, they must arrange training and testing on their own time, and their pay rate will be reduced until the required OQs are obtained. After initial training, qualified mechanics may volunteer for A Mechanic (1st Responder) training. Other related duties may be assigned to meet PPS’s ongoing needs. Precision Pipeline Solutions (PPS), based in New Windsor, New York, works in the natural gas and electric utility contracting industry. The position is scheduled Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with potential overtime.
