Careers
Keeping Maine Warm
In Maine alone, Oilheat serves more than 80% of the homes in Maine. That means keeping nearly 1 million Maine people warm during our notoriously cold winters. That is a very important and a very big job.
With so many Oilheat customers in Maine and, in fact, all of New England, a career in the Oilheat business can mean a very solid future in a highly respected field.
Today there are about 12,000 Mainers who go to work every day to make sure everyone stays warm and cozy and to supply the motor fuels to our vehicles. They help deliver close to $2 billion in goods and service each year to Maine families.
Today in Maine, hundreds of jobs with outstanding benefits are available for qualified people in the industry. The jobs include:
- Heat systems service technicians
- Heating system installation technicians
- Industrial sales representatives
- Customer service specialists
- Bookkeeping and finance positions
- Experienced truck mechanics
There are jobs with small family-owned oil dealerships and jobs with Maine's larger oil dealers including career opportunities you'd find in any corporation setting such as benefits administration, human resources, and other management positions.
