This is skilled mechanical and technical work in the installation and maintenance of large diameter water meters and the performance of various field functions related to Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).
Work involves responsibility for making repairs to, and testing, large diameter water meters including all turbine-type meters and various electromagnetic-type meters used for accurately measuring water consumption. Work requires maintaining proper calibration of all large diameter water meters to prescribed limits of accuracy using both mechanical and computerized methods. This classification is distinguished from subordinate classifications engaged in meter repairs by servicing larger and more complex meters, installing and maintaining AMR technology, and ensuring that standard procedures and instructions are followed in the performance of meter service. Supervision is received from a technical superior who reviews work for conformance with established policies and procedures and satisfactory operation of equipment repaired, installed, or maintained.
