Smart Meter Engineer Jobs and Metering Recruitment
A smart meter is a digital electric meter, or gas meter, that sends readings to the energy supplier automatically and shows the customer what they are using. Fitting one means working safely with live electricity and gas supplies in people’s homes. Bernoullis recruits smart meter engineers, dual fuel engineers, metering technicians and field managers for energy suppliers and metering contractors, and checks training, safety and references before anyone starts.
Why Metering Employers Use Bernoullis
Smart meter engineers work alone in customers’ homes, with live supplies. They need sound technical skills, good safety habits and a friendly, trustworthy manner. We look carefully at training, safety records and customer feedback, so the people we send represent your business well.
Training and Safety Checked
We confirm metering qualifications, gas safety assessments for dual fuel roles and electrical skills. References from field managers confirm the quality of their work.
Customer Manner Matters
We ask how candidates deal with customers, vulnerable people and difficult jobs. Engineers are matched on the patch, hours and job types you need.

Smart Meters Are Now in Most Homes
There were around 42 million smart and advanced meters in Great Britain by the end of June 2026, which is 72% of all meters, and about 1.1 million were installed in the second quarter of 2026 alone (DESNZ).
That leaves millions of older meters still to change, plus first-generation smart meters, faults and new connections to deal with. Each digital electric meter and gas meter needs a trained engineer, and good engineers are often hired by competing suppliers.
We help by reaching engineers who are not scrolling job boards and explaining your role honestly. For job seekers, that means smart meter jobs that match your training, patch and hours.

How to Hire Smart Meter Engineers: A Practical Guide
Start with the meters. Electric only, dual fuel and commercial metering need different training. Write down the meter types and the work each engineer will do.
Next, decide whether you will train. Many suppliers run their own academies, so new starters with the right attitude can be a good choice.
Then think about the patch. Engineers care about travel time, start points and van use, so be clear about the area they will cover.
Finally, be clear about pay, overtime and bonus. Engineers compare offers carefully.
What we assess
- Metering qualifications
- Gas safety for dual fuel
- Customer manner
- Safety record
- Right to work and background checks
- Driving licence and patch
