Lowry Water Technologies

Position: Laborer

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 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.
