Job description
We are seeking an experienced Director of Engineering to lead the engineering, asset management, and system operations teams that keep power flowing safely and reliably across northern and eastern Maine.

This is a chance to shape the direction of an evolving grid at a utility with the highest distributed generation and solar penetration of any utility in North America, where the engineering challenges are real and no two days look the same.
