Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer
How do I contact the Employment Department? For questions regarding your job application or other employment-related questions, please call 207-442-4506 or email employment@gdbiw.com.

Due to a high volume of calls and emails, keep in mind that our recruitment team may not be able to respond right away.

How long does it usually take to hear back after submitting an application? It usually takes around 2-3 weeks to complete running a background check. Once the background check is completed and cleared, our Medical Department will reach out to schedule your medical review and drug screening. However, due to the high volume of new applications coming in, the process may take longer. Because of this, you may not hear back if your application was rejected. You can check your application status at any time by going to your online profile on biwcareers.com.

If you have questions regarding your application, please don’t hesitate to contact the Employment Office at 207-442-4506. If you have questions for our Medical Department, feel free to contact them at 207-442-2231.

Can I submit more than one job application? You can apply for multiple job openings and there isn’t a limit on the number of jobs you can apply for.
