• Design, configure, and support advanced metering integrations based on project plans, specifications, utility requirements, and customer operational needs.
• Integrate metering devices, gateways, data loggers, and building systems into Schneider Electric Power Monitoring Expert (PME) and related enterprise energy platforms.
• Configure meter hierarchies, device drivers, dashboards, alarms, reports, data logs, and user access within PME.
• Perform communications troubleshooting for metering networks using protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, Ethernet/IP, pulse outputs, and other common utility metering interfaces.
• Validate meter data accuracy, trend collection, timestamps, scaling, units, and point-to-point mapping from field devices through the monitoring platform.
• Collaborate with engineering, controls, IT, cybersecurity, commissioning, and facility operations teams on metering architecture, network requirements, data standards, and integration strategy.
• Develop and maintain metering documentation, device inventories, network diagrams, integration notes, test scripts, and as-built records.
• Support commissioning, functional testing, acceptance testing, and troubleshooting of metering systems and PME integrations.
• Provide customer training on meter data interpretation, PME dashboards, reporting tools, alarms, and ongoing operational use.
• Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, utilities, and manufacturers as needed to resolve integration, communications, or data quality issues.
• Provide project management assistance as required, including customer coordination, schedule support, issue tracking, and progress reporting.
• Mentor lower-level technicians and analysts on metering systems, communications protocols, and PME integration best practices.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to integrate advanced metering systems into Schneider Electric Power Monitoring Expert (PME), including device setup, hierarchy configuration, data logging, dashboards, alarms, and reporting.
• Strong understanding of utility metering applications, including electric, gas, water, steam, chilled water, hot water, and renewable energy metering.
• Knowledge of meter communications protocols and interfaces, including Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Ethernet, pulse outputs, and serial communications.
• Ability to troubleshoot meter communications, data quality, scaling, units, timestamps, and device connectivity issues from the field device to the enterprise platform.
• Working knowledge of network concepts used in metering environments, including IP addressing, ports, gateways, VLAN coordination, and basic cybersecurity practices.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical drawings, one-line diagrams, control drawings, meter schedules, network drawings, and project specifications.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to validate energy data, identify anomalies, and support measurement and verification activities.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to document technical findings and explain issues to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite or related software for documentation, reporting, and project coordination.
• Excellent customer service skills and ability to work collaboratively with engineers, technicians, IT personnel, facility managers, and subcontractors.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience deploying, integrating, commissioning, or supporting utility metering, energy monitoring, power monitoring, or building analytics systems.
• Required hands-on experience integrating metering devices and data sources into Schneider Electric Power Monitoring Expert (PME).
• Experience configuring PME system components such as devices, hierarchies, Vista diagrams, dashboards, reports, alarms, trends, and data logs.
• Experience commissioning metering systems and validating meter-to-platform data integrity.
• Experience with multi-vendor meters, communications gateways, data acquisition devices, and building automation or energy management platforms.
• Technical knowledge of low-voltage electrical systems, metering hardware installation practices, and safe work coordination with qualified electrical personnel.
• Schneider Electric PME training, certification, or equivalent demonstrated project experience preferred.
• Niagara N4, building automation, power monitoring, or energy management certification preferred.

Physical Requirements

• Physically able to climb overhead or crawl under spaces to complete jobs.
• Must be willing to work at heights.
• Must be able to lift up to 35 pounds at times.
