Test, adjust, and repair gas, water, and oil meters.

Adjusts meter and repeats test until meter registration is within specified limits. Inspects, repairs and maintains gas meters at wells or processing plants. Dismantles meter and replaces defective parts, such as case, shafts, gears, disks, and recording mechanisms, using soldering iron and hand tools. Connects gas, oil, water, or air meter to test apparatus to detect leaks. Reassembles meter and meter parts, using soldering gun, power tools and hand tools. Lubricates moving meter parts, using oil gun. Records test results, materials used, and meters needing repair on log or card and segregates meters requiring repair. Caps meter housing and activates controls on paint booth to spray paint meter case. Cleans plant growth, scale, and rust from meter housing, using wire brush, buffer, sandblaster, or cleaning compounds. Analyzes test results to determine cause of persistent meter registration errors.

Mechanical -- Knowledge of machines and tools, including their designs, uses, repair, and maintenance.

Repairing -- Repairing machines or systems using the needed tools. Quality Control Analysis -- Conducting tests and inspections of products, services, or processes to evaluate quality or performance. Equipment Maintenance -- Performing routine maintenance on equipment and determining when and what kind of maintenance is needed. Installation -- Installing equipment, machines, wiring, or programs to meet specifications. Operation and Control -- Controlling operations of equipment or systems. Operation Monitoring -- Watching gauges, dials, or other indicators to make sure a machine is working properly. Troubleshooting -- Determining causes of operating errors and deciding what to do about it. Equipment Selection -- Determining the kind of tools and equipment needed to do a job. Writing -- Communicating effectively in writing as appropriate for the needs of the audience.

Near Vision -- The ability to see details at close range (within a few feet of the observer). Arm-Hand Steadiness -- The ability to keep your hand and arm steady while moving your arm or while holding your arm and hand in one position. Finger Dexterity -- The ability to make precisely coordinated movements of the fingers of one or both hands to grasp, manipulate, or assemble very small objects. Manual Dexterity -- The ability to quickly move your hand, your hand together with your arm, or your two hands to grasp, manipulate, or assemble objects. Information Ordering -- The ability to arrange things or actions in a certain order or pattern according to a specific rule or set of rules (e.g., patterns of numbers, letters, words, pictures, mathematical operations). Wrist-Finger Speed -- The ability to make fast, simple, repeated movements of the fingers, hands, and wrists. Control Precision -- The ability to quickly and repeatedly adjust the controls of a machine or a vehicle to exact positions. Inductive Reasoning -- The ability to combine pieces of information to form general rules or conclusions (includes finding a relationship among seemingly unrelated events). Problem Sensitivity -- The ability to tell when something is wrong or is likely to go wrong. It does not involve solving the problem, only recognizing there is a problem. Multilimb Coordination -- The ability to coordinate two or more limbs (for example, two arms, two legs, or one leg and one arm) while sitting, standing, or lying down. It does not involve performing the activities while the whole body is in motion.

Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment -- Servicing, repairing, adjusting, and testing machines, devices, moving parts, and equipment that operate primarily on the basis of mechanical (not electronic) principles. Handling and Moving Objects -- Using hands and arms in handling, installing, positioning, and moving materials, and manipulating things. Getting Information -- Observing, receiving, and otherwise obtaining information from all relevant sources. Inspecting Equipment, Structures, or Material -- Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects. Identifying Objects, Actions, and Events -- Identifying information by categorizing, estimating, recognizing differences or similarities, and detecting changes in circumstances or events. Performing General Physical Activities -- Performing physical activities that require considerable use of your arms and legs and moving your whole body, such as climbing, lifting, balancing, walking, stooping, and handling of materials. Documenting/Recording Information -- Entering, transcribing, recording, storing, or maintaining information in written or electronic/magnetic form. Evaluating Information to Determine Compliance with Standards -- Using relevant information and individual judgment to determine whether events or processes comply with laws, regulations, or standards.
