National Metering and Technical Services

What National Metering and Technical Services does

National Metering and Technical Services, LLC (NMTS) is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Wenatchee, Washington, with an operational presence in Spokane. Founded in 2010, the company provides qualified Journeymen Metermen and Meter Technicians on a project basis to electric utilities, electric cooperatives, and municipal/government customers undergoing AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) and AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) deployments. The core value proposition is on-demand access to credentialed metering labor with over 50 years of combined field experience, sourced in part through an affiliation with IBEW Local 77.

The service portfolio spans ten offerings: TOU (Time-of-Use) reprogramming, electrical service audits, inspections, meter reading, repairs and upgrades, new meter installations, troubleshooting, lost revenue evaluation, on-the-job training, and current diversion detection. The technical work is grounded in physical meter wiring, power quality analysis, meter troubleshooting, and revenue recovery; the company does not sell software, hardware, or AI-enabled analytics. Its primary differentiation is domain expertise and the ability to mentor utility client staff in addition to performing direct service delivery. Named customers include Inland Power & Light, Oregon Trail Electric, Kodiak Electric Association, and the City of Shasta Lake, with service regions encompassing Washington, Oregon, California, and Alaska.

NMTS operates as a labor-services business with a direct, consultative B2B sales motion targeting utility decision-makers. Revenue is generated through quote-based project billing for skilled labor, with no publicly disclosed pricing, recurring software revenue, or subscription components. The company is a member of the Northwest Water & Power Association (NWPP) and has spun off its apprenticeship training function to a standalone website (NWTechnicalTraining.com). No venture capital, private equity backing, or AI/technology platform is evidenced in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Quanta Services: Quanta Services is the largest specialty utility contractor in North America offering design, installation, maintenance, and upgrade services for electric, gas, and telecom infrastructure, including AMI deployments. As a broad incumbent it competes for the same AMI/AMR project labor dollars that National Metering targets.
• Landis+Gyr: Landis+Gyr is one of the largest global suppliers of AMI/AMR metering hardware and grid intelligence solutions to electric utilities. It is a broad-incumbent adjacent player whose AMI roll-outs drive meterman labor demand and whose network of service partners competes in the same opportunity set as National Metering.
• MYR Group: MYR Group is a publicly traded specialty electrical construction services firm that builds and maintains electric infrastructure for utilities, including AMI/AMR deployments. Its scale and utility client relationships make it a broad-incumbent peer for metering field services.
• EMCOR Group: EMCOR Group is a large mechanical and electrical services firm with a facilities and utility services division that performs electric metering, building systems installation, and maintenance for utility and commercial customers. It is a broader-competitor peer for AMI/AMR labor and metering services.
• Itron: Itron is a leading manufacturer of AMI smart meters, communication modules, and meter data management software sold directly to utilities. While not a direct labor competitor, Itron's AMI deployments create and shape the downstream demand for the meterman labor services that National Metering supplies.
• MasTec: MasTec is a large diversified infrastructure services contractor that delivers utility-scale electric transmission, distribution, and AMI deployment projects across the US. Its utility services segment competes for AMI project labor contracts with National Metering on a much broader scale.

Others

• Apex Systems: Apex Systems is a large IT and engineering staffing firm that also places technical and field-services personnel into utility and energy clients. As an adjacent staffing provider it competes indirectly for utility customer labor budgets that might otherwise go to specialized meterman labor firms.
• MMC Group: MMC Group is a national staffing and workforce solutions provider that places skilled trades into utility, energy, and infrastructure projects. It overlaps as a labor supplier to utility customers and could be considered an adjacent staffing competitor to National Metering's on-demand meterman labor offering.

Direct peers

• Centerline Utilities: Centerline (formerly Centerline Solutions) provides infrastructure services for electric and telecom utilities, including aerial and underground construction, AMI deployment support, and meter-related field services. It competes head-to-head with National Metering for outsourced AMI project labor.
• USIC (US Infrastructure Corp.): USIC is the largest provider of utility infrastructure services in North America, including utility locating, meter reading, and damage prevention services directly to electric, gas, water, and telecom utilities. It competes with National Metering for outsourced utility metering labor and AMI/AMR field services.
