On the road every day

Meter Technician

Work independently with a team behind you.

No two days are exactly the same. As a Meter Technician, you’ll spend your time out in the community, working with evolving technology and helping maintain the water infrastructure people rely on every day.

You’ll have the freedom to manage your own day, the support of an experienced team and the opportunity to build a long-term career in a growing industry.

Practical work. Technology. Customer service.

What does a Meter Technician do?

Follow one of our Meter Technicians through a typical week and get a real insight into the role, the team and what it’s like to build a career at NPS.

Depending on the program you’re supporting, your day may include:

  • Replacing and installing water meters
  • Working with smart metering technology
  • Inspecting and investigating water assets
  • Managing your daily schedule and workload
  • Identifying and managing site risks
  • Recording information through mobile systems
  • Representing NPS and our clients in the community

No two days are exactly the same, but every day plays a role in helping maintain and modernise Australia’s water networks.
