As an employee in the Meter Department over the course of 8 years I gained skills and experience in various areas in the metering field. Initially hired as a Meter Reader my responsibilities included driving to each location to record metering readings for monthly billing. Moving away from traditional mechanical meters and into a smart meter solution, I had the opportunity to be part of the implementation of our Advanced Metering Infrastructure deployment. As an AMI technician my roles included implementing and maintaining AMI PLC equipment, troubleshooting communication and other hardware/software related issues, testing and verifying meters/configurations, and the physical installation of the different metering standards. During this time I also was trained and placed on-call as an Groundman in the Line Department.
