Laborer

Lowry Water Technologies

Position: Laborer/Fabricator

Hours: Fulltime; M-F, 9am-5pm

Starting Pay: $18 per hour

Location: Work is performed on-site at our production facility in Westbrook, ME

Reports to: Graham Lowry, Principal Engineer

Who we are: Celebrating our 40th year as a family-owned and run small business, we are engineers who create, design, and build water treatment systems for municipal public water supplies and for companies like Bristol-Myers Squibb, Poland Spring, and Pepsi. As engineers, we normally do not supply plans and specifications for others to build. We believe it is critically important to maintain control over the process from design to startup, so we serve as the engineer on projects or we work with other engineering companies who specify our water treatment systems.

The majority of Lowry water treatment systems treat groundwater supplies that have one or more contaminants –– such as nitrates, radon, PFAs, arsenic, and other chemicals –– with our proprietary design/build water treatment system processes and services.

What we’re looking for: We are looking for a reliable, hardworking, professional individual with a willingness to learn and a commitment to quality work in a safe environment to add to our crew of fabricators. The person will assist in building industrial precision water treatment equipment.

The ideal candidate is self-motivated, open to receiving feedback, pays careful attention to safety standards and protocols, and can learn and be trusted to execute repetitive rudimentary procedures without supervision once trained.

The most important aspect of this position is the ability to adapt to a range of different needed tasks throughout the day. These responsibilities may range from maintenance tasks such as mopping and sweeping to larger fabrication tasks such as assembling large water treatment equipment.

Skills needed to be successful in this role:

• May have to lift and move equipment and objects weighing upwards of 60 lbs.

• Ability to use, or learn to use, power tools such as chop-saw, power-drill, router, reciprocating saw, etc. and adhere to all safety protocols and procedures.

• Able to learn simple procedures and specific methods for fabricating various water treatment equipment. This may include utilizing jigs or specialized equipment and performing tasks in a specific order to maximize efficiency.

• Ability and willingness to perform a variety of tasks in the shop unrelated to fabrication including, but not limited to, the following: sweeping the shop floor, breaking down pallets and boxes for disposal, performing basic maintenance on shop tools and equipment, packing up product, loading the occasional truck –– anything needed to keep production on track.

• Professional attitude and willingness to learn on the job.

What we provide:

• A safe workplace and professional working environment.

• Mentorship, training, and real-world, hands-on experience in the water treatment system fabrication business.

• 10 paid holidays, health insurance after 90 days, and a SIMPLE retirement account with optional employee contribution.

• Annual bonus based on annual revenue.
