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 Helium for everyone’s birthday parties, and we’re the provider of Acetylene for our local welders and metal fabricators.
All 300 of us at Maine Oxy are genuinely kind individuals 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!
Ready to be part of a place where your contributions directly impact lives? If you’re confident about your skills and abilities and want to make a real difference in your community, we’d love to welcome you to our team!
