Hello,
Role: FCS Integration Developer
Client: Utility Client, Liberty.
Work mode: Remote.
Start date: 10/26/2026 (Mon).
Duration: 3+ months, subject to the outcome of the project.
Immigration category: US citizen, green card, H1-B.
Project Overview:
Liberty Utilities uses the Itron Field Collection System (FCS) to support its field meter-reading operations, leveraging FC300 handheld devices and Itron MC3/MC4 Toughbooks used by field personnel. The current landscape includes FCS 4.3.0 for NY Water and FCS 4.5.3 for Liberty.
The field personnel has the FC300 handhelds and Itron MC3 / MC4 Toughbook at his/her truck. The field personnel uses bing map to display the street view and the route. Microsoft is ending support for that bing map version, effective 11/30/2026. So, the existing FCS environments will undergo a stepped upgrade to FCS 4.7 to continue bing map support. A new QA FCS environment will be established and upgraded to FCS 4.7 to validate the solution through Functional, System Integration Testing (SIT), and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) before production deployment.
The upgrade scope also includes the associated FC300 handhelds and MC3/MC4 Toughbooks, along with the impact associated with the applicable Bing Maps version.
The existing FCS-to-SAP integration will continue to be supported through DFS and MoveIT sFTP, ensuring the exchange of meter-reading information between the Field Collection System (FCS) and the SAP billing landscape.
From a business-process perspective, SAP initiates meter-reading requirements based on the billing cycle. Field personnel perform the required electricity/water meter-reading activities using the field collection devices, with the collected readings subsequently transferred through FCS and made available to SAP for downstream billing processing.
Job Description:
Job Description: Responsible for developing the interface between FCS and SAP billing system.
Key Responsibilities: FCS-side interface development, mapping and unit testing.
Must Have Skills: Hands-on interface development and integration experience, preferably involving Itron FCS or a comparable field collection system and enterprise applications such as SAP.
