• Identify and address leaking valves, corroded piping, damaged meter boxes, access issues, and other conditions that affect safe installation.
• Troubleshoot equipment and jobsite challenges, communicate problems to management, and coordinate solutions to minimize downtime.
• Ensure residents receive professional notice before water service interruptions and help resolve basic customer questions or concerns.
• Coordinate daily material and equipment needs, including loading, unloading, and tracking meters, tools, and supplies.
• Ensure vehicles and equipment are inspected, cleaned, maintained, and properly stored; report repair needs promptly.
• Work alongside the crew and perform technician duties when needed.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.
