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 their 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 role serving properties in Houston and may include travel outside the home market, including overnight stays.

The standard schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with an unpaid meal break. Start and end times may change based on property access, customer availability, project deadlines, and drive time.

These physical requirements must be met with or without reasonable accommodation.
