Technical Service Representative in Waterville, Maine
WFA Digital Insight
DuBois Chemicals’ Technical Service Representative role is a hands‑on bridge between the company’s historic R&D expertise and the day‑to‑day needs of paper mill operators in central Maine. Because the job sits on‑site at customer locations, the incumbent must blend mechanical know‑how with the ability to adjust processes on the fly—exactly the kind of problem‑solving mindset that thrives on field work. The position also feeds data back into DuBois’ analytics platforms, turning service calls into actionable insights for product development. Living within an hour of Waterville is a firm geographic filter, but the role rewards independent decision‑making, regular travel, and the use of tools like Excel and the company’s e‑tools suite. Candidates who can document findings clearly and keep inventory flowing will find this assignment uniquely satisfying.
