Project Engineer - Kingfield
About The Position
Acorn Engineering, Inc., a Maine-based, 100% employee-owned civil engineering, construction administration, land surveying, and landscape architecture firm, has a full-time opportunity for a Project Engineer in our Kingfield office. While Acorn's primary office is located in Portland, we established our Kingfield location in 2023 to better serve clients and communities throughout Western Maine. As our project portfolio continues to grow across the region, we are seeking a motivated engineer to help shape the future of this expanding office and work on a variety of exciting projects. This position offers a unique opportunity to be part of a growing branch of the company, working directly alongside local leadership and playing a meaningful role in its long-term success.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, values hands-on involvement, and is energized by new challenges and opportunities. The successful candidate will work on projects spanning a broad geographic area, while collaborating with colleagues across Acorn's multiple disciplines and office locations. As an integral member of the project team, the Project Engineer will be involved throughout the full project lifecycle, from initial planning and design through permitting and construction. Whether your interests include skiing, mountain biking, hiking, paddling, fishing, or simply living and working close to Maine's natural resources, Kingfield offers a unique setting to build both a career and lifestyle.
