Industrial Mechanic (Millwright)

Millwrights install, repair, overhaul and maintain machinery and heavy mechanical equipment, such as pumps, fans, tanks, conveyors, furnaces and generators, in diverse settings including repair shops, plants, construction sites, mines, logging operations, ski hills and most production and manufacturing facilities. Millwrights are also responsible for assembling, aligning, troubleshooting, inspecting, dismantling and moving this machinery and equipment. Troubleshooting may include diagnosing irregularities and malfunctions, making adjustments, and repairing or replacing parts. Millwrights work with a wide variety of tools, including hand and power tools in installation and repair work. Hoisting and lifting equipment such as cranes, jacks and forklifts are commonly used to position large machines or machine parts.

Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) is a nationally designated trade under the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program.
