Previous meter installation experience is not required. Paid training is provided.

Some employees are hired specifically for a local project and may remain on that project for the duration of the assignment. Others choose to travel between projects and continue working with VEPO as new opportunities become available.


The ability to travel is preferred and may provide additional opportunities for continued employment, but nationwide travel is not required for every position.


Project lengths vary. Some assignments may last only a few weeks, while others may continue for several months or longer.


When a technician travels to an assigned project located more than 1.5 hours from home, VEPO provides company-paid housing.

* Valid driver’s license


* Current auto insurance


* Reliable personal vehicle available for work use


* Ability to work independently and manage an assigned route


* Ability to perform physically demanding work


* Reliable attendance and strong work ethic


* Ability to meet project production expectations after training


* Willingness to travel is preferred but may not be required for local project positions

* Construction


* Plumbing


* Electrical


* HVAC


* Carpentry
