    • Meter Technician, Utility Technician, or Field Service Technician.

  • Familiarity with utility systems such as AMI platforms, SCADA, Oracle MDM, IBM Maximo, or ArcGIS.

  • Strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment.
