Meter Technician Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Three or more years of experience in the construction and/or maintenance of power substation protection, diagnostic, metering, monitoring and/or control systems or relevant experience.
• A degree(s) in electrical power theory, electronics, instrumentation, controls, computer science or relevant field may be substituted per LCRA guidelines for certain years of experience.
• Driver's license

Nice To Haves

• Demonstrate a strong grasp of NERC and ERCOT reporting to show readiness for high-stakes documentation.
• Highlight experience with SubWAN, MV90, or telecommunications protocols to troubleshoot the "communication" side of a meter effectively.
• Emphasize an ability to solve sophisticated problems independently and lead a small crew or work solo safely at remote sites.
• Showcase specific experience using vendor programming software to configure the digital "brains" of metering equipment.
• Prove a "safety-first" approach in high-voltage environments, such as leading tailboard meetings or implementing rigorous safety protocols.

Responsibilities

• Work with others to commission and test meters, ensuring every kilowatt-hour moving through the substation is recorded accurately to protect our revenue stream.
• Maintain a critical defense for compliance standards by documenting maintenance and test results to stay in full alignment with NERC and ERCOT requirements.
• Integrate meters into LCRA and 3rd-party networks to enable remote configurations, which reduces physical site visits and accelerates our response times.
• Manage equipment stocks and tools so that when a field failure occurs, functional, "ready-to-go" hardware is available for immediate restoration.
• Assist engineering teams in evaluating new technologies, providing hands-on feedback that directly dictates the quality and durability of future hardware.
