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 involving customer interaction, equipment and inventory management, documentation, and company-vehicle care. The schedule is 10-hour days, Monday through Friday, with an unpaid meal break. Start and end times can shift based on property access, customer availability, project deadlines, and drive time. Early starts, late finishes, occasional weekends, required overtime, schedule changes with little notice, and up to 25% travel outside the home market—including overnight stays—should be expected. Overnight travel is usually scheduled 7–10 days in advance, but may sometimes be arranged on shorter notice. Overtime and travel time are paid in accordance with applicable law. The role requires physical work at heights and in tight spaces, regular lifting and carrying of 50 pounds or more, and work outdoors in all weather. Technicians may work around energized electrical equipment and pressurized gas and water lines, following safety procedures and wearing required PPE. Company-provided equipment includes a vehicle, gas card, laptop, cell phone, and hand tools. Initial training may last up to three weeks and may require travel, with ongoing job-specific instruction thereafter.
