The company has built a stellar reputation within the energy sector over the past five years and is looking to hire trainee meter technicians to join their growing team.

You'll receive full training before visiting meter locations across Blackpool and the surrounding North West postcode areas. Your duties will include planning your route, taking meter readings, and reporting any issues, all while providing excellent service to customers.
