Summary

Smart Metering Technician

Canwick Lincoln

We Do What We Say - that’s why we need people like you to help us deliver on our promises. People who enjoy getting things done!

We have opportunities for Smart Metering Technicians to join our team, working in partnership with Anglian Alliance to support our smart metering programme across the region. The roles are field-based, covering Norfolk, Suffolk, Northampton and Lincoln, and will play a key part in improving the performance, reliability and efficiency of our smart meter network.

These positions sit within the Metering Delivery Team and provide technical field support to help maintain a stable and efficient smart meter network. The work you do will directly support key business goals including improving meter connectivity, reducing leakage and operational costs, and helping us deliver a better service to our customers.

Here are some of the activities you will be involved in…

  • Providing local technical support to field technicians across your area
  • Supporting the FLT smart meter commissioning system, including updates, troubleshooting and training
  • Delivering training and guidance to other field technicians and teams
  • Carrying out complex leak investigations and follow-up visits
  • Investigating smart meter network issues, including signal testing and coverage surveys
  • Supporting non-communicating meter investigations and second visits
  • Installing and maintaining PRF equipment, including pulse heads and data loggers
  • Undertaking advanced diagnostics and fault-finding on smart meter assets
  • Supporting customer service teams where leak investigations require further technical input
  • Working closely with colleagues to identify improvements in processes, performance and asset reliability

We would love to hear from you if you can demonstrate…

A good understanding of smart meters and smart meter networks, along with experience working in a field-based environment. You’ll be confident working alone across different locations and environments, with a practical, hands-on approach to problem solving.

You’ll need to be comfortable using technology in the field and troubleshooting issues as they arise, along with strong communication skills and a customer-focused mindset. You’ll also be self-motivated, flexible, and able to manage a varied and sometimes complex workload.

A full UK driving licence is essential, along with SWQR Street Works and EUSR National Water Hygiene certification.
