Date Posted: June 25, 2026 | End Date: December 22, 2026
County: Hancock County
Job Type: Water & Wastewater

The Town of Bar Harbor is seeking a Water Superintendent to oversee the overall operation, maintenance, and construction activities of the Water Division while ensuring compliance with all Federal, State, and local regulations.

Bar Harbor’s water is drawn from Eagle Lake in Acadia National Park, which serves a year-round and seasonal population through 1,958 service connections. Due to the exceptional water quality of our source, the Town’s water system maintains a filtration waver. As the gateway community to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor experiences significant seasonal variation in population, service demand, and economic activity, requiring the Town to deliver municipal services to a small year-round population while supporting a much larger seasonal presence. Bar Harbor’s vibrancy stems from the mix of people and the dramatic natural and cultural beauty. Together, we build upon our diverse economic strengths, and, through partnerships, we create solutions that meet year-round and seasonal needs. The vision of Bar Harbor is to offer a resilient and sustainable community that includes sufficient equitable housing, robust infrastructure, and efficient transportation. We work through our differences to strengthen our collective sense of community. We take care of each other, and we take care of our place.

Desired qualifications include:

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field
• 5-10 years professional experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Benefits:

• Two weeks of vacation annually, plus 12 paid holidays
• Retirement options through MainePERS or MissionSquare with Town match
• Medical insurance with Town contribution and HRA
• Dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• Professional development support
