Millwright

If you are mechanically inclined, enjoy the challenge of working in a fast-paced environment and are an excellent problem solver, consider becoming a millwright. Millwrights install, dismantle, repair, reassemble and move machinery in factories, power plants and construction sites. Most millwrights learn informally on the job or through formal apprenticeship programs.

Responsibilities include working with industry-specific and high complex precision machines, using precision leveling and alignment tools, fitting bearings, aligning gears and wheels, attaching motors and connecting belts.
