Drop the VALUES keyword. That is only for inserting a single constant row.

INSERT INTO tblProjInspJumperDetails (ProjectID, JumperNo,JumperMeterNo, BeginRead, EndRead, JumperRemoval)
SELECT ProjectID, 'Jumper 1', DEPJumperMeterNo,JumperMeterBegReading, JumperMeterEndReading, D_JumperRemoval
FROM tblProjects
WHERE DEPJumperMeterNo IS NOT NULL
