Job Summary:
Our client is seeking reliable and mechanically inclined independent contractors to perform residential and small commercial gas meter installations and stand-alone appliance relights throughout British Columbia.

Previous gas meter installation experience is an asset but is not required. Comprehensive training is provided. Contractors are compensated on a piecework basis with excellent earning potential. Most work is completed within the contractor's local area, although optional opportunities to travel to other British Columbia project locations may occasionally be available.

  • Smartphone or compatible device
  • Provide their own tools (or purchase required tools from Metercor at cost).
  • Carry any insurance required to operate their business (if applicable).
  • Professional customer service

Qualifications:
