Job Description

First, here's what we're

not: Maine Oxy

isn't the typical corporate employer

whose leaders lecture employees about what the company culture is, only to have you witness these same leaders act differently. In truth, company cultures are defined by the

actions of a company's

senior leadership

. Does your employer's leadership act like their words?
Maine Oxy

can't

be untrustworthy like that. Why? Because

Maine Oxy is a family-owned company

. Our company decisions come with

heart because at the end of the day

it's personal to

all humans in our organization. Corporate environments don't have to care about the human aspect of their employees because there's no family involved in "the bottom line".
What does

Maine Oxy

do? We're more than

Propane

! Maine Oxy is on a life-saving mission to provide high-quality specialty gases that already make a daily impact on your life! We're the provider of

Oxygen

for our local veterinary and medical offices, we're the provider of

Carbon Dioxide

for our local breweries, we're the provider of

who get to experience true collaboration. We can rely on integrity from each other, and we work in peace because of our inclusive safety program. The work is challenging for valid reasons, but it is rewarding, and

the science of it is really cool
