About The Position

Conservice is a utility and billing management company serving the multifamily housing industry. Meter Technicians install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair water, gas, and electric submeters and related communication systems at multifamily properties, new construction sites, and select retail locations to support accurate utility billing data collection. This is a hands-on field position involving customer interaction, daily documentation, inventory management, and care of an assigned company vehicle. The standard schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with an unpaid meal break, though start and end times can change according to property access, customer availability, project deadlines, and driving time.

Routes and schedules may change with little notice. Reliable attendance, punctuality, and availability by company phone during work hours are essential. The role requires regular ladder climbing, work at heights, lifting and carrying 50+ pounds, and working in tight spaces and outdoors in all weather.

These physical requirements must be met with or without reasonable accommodation. The company provides a vehicle, gas card, laptop, cell phone, and hand tools. Initial training may last up to three weeks and may involve travel, with ongoing job-specific instruction. The listed pay range is $25.87–$31.34. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance beginning the first of the month after 60 days of employment, paid time off, company holidays, and a 401(k) with company match.
