Where a meter reader can go next

1 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a meter reader already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Meter readers visit residential and business or industrial buildings and facilities in order to note down the readings of the meters which measure gas, water, electricity and other utility uses. They forward the results to the client and to the supplier.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a meter reader already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
