Great place to work and a great job to do for anyone looking for low stress and autonomous workThe good thingsBeing a university student meter reading was pretty much as good as I could've asked for in a casual job. The flexible hours, the autonomous work with little to no stress involved. The two managers I worked for were amazing, understanding people and genuine good guys to have a chat too, were always helpful when I needed assistance to find a meter or change my workdays due to university commitments.
The challengesOnly challenges would be the weather, hot days are usually fine if you start early, routes on average are about 5 and a half hours so if you start at the recommended time of 7am the weather hasn't reached its peak by the time you finish, and tines can be flexible on some occasions you can do an hour the next day to catch up when the weather is better. Every day that is not overly hot or wet is quite nice to be around. A small price to pay for all the positives the job brings for a young person.
