Looking for an engineering job in Downeast Maine may be difficult, not a lot of industry other than lobstering and blueberry picking. I have seen some ads this past year for engineers at the papermills and at a wood fired powerplant.
Scan the Bangor newspaper www.bangornews.com for jobs in the northern half of the state.
Though in the southern part of the state things are better. Some of the companies that I have seen advertising jobs in the section of the state include Bath Iron Works, Sylvania, Jackson Labs, University of Maine, Old Town canoes, and numerous. plastic plants.
Note: Maine does not have an Industrial Exemption, meaning all engineers must be licensed.

Maine’s unemployment rate of 4.2 percent in July remains below the national average of 5.9 percent. Yet even with major, high-profile layoffs in the state and the nation, such as a loss of 5,000 manufacturing jobs in Maine in the past year, the job market remains relatively unchanged because of employment gains in the service sector.
