Millwright – Industrial Manufacturing
Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Industrial Mechanic/Millwright to join our maintenance team at a heavy industrial manufacturing facility. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, and installing mechanical equipment used in casting, rolling mill and metal finishing manufacturing operations.
This position requires a mechanically skilled individual who can independently diagnose problems, understand how industrial equipment operates, and make sound decisions when equipment is down. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with hydraulic systems, mechanical power transmission, pumps, bearings, gearboxes, conveyors, rolls, rotating equipment, and industrial machinery.
This is a hands-on position in a demanding manufacturing environment where safety, reliability, workmanship, and troubleshooting ability are critical.

Primary Responsibilities
  • Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain industrial machinery and mechanical systems.
  • Diagnose mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and lubrication-related equipment problems.
  • Perform installation, alignment, repair, and replacement of pumps, motors, gearboxes, bearings, couplings, shafts, rolls, cylinders, valves, and other mechanical components.
  • Troubleshoot and repair industrial hydraulic systems, including pumps, valves, cylinders, accumulators, filters, piping, and associated controls.
  • Perform precision equipment alignment using appropriate measuring and alignment tools.
  • Remove, install, and align bearings, shafts, gearboxes, rolls, and other rotating equipment.
  • Read and interpret mechanical drawings, hydraulic schematics, equipment manuals, and parts drawings.
  • Use precision measuring equipment such as micrometers, calipers, dial indicators, and other inspection tools.
  • Perform welding, cutting, rigging, and fabrication as required for maintenance repairs.
  • Safely operate cranes, hoists, forklifts, and other material-handling equipment when qualified.
  • Perform preventive and predictive maintenance activities.
  • Identify developing equipment problems and recommend corrective action before failures occur.
  • Complete maintenance work orders and accurately document repairs and equipment conditions.
  • Work closely with electricians, operators, supervisors, engineers, and other maintenance personnel to resolve equipment problems.
  • Respond to equipment breakdowns and production emergencies when required.
  • Maintain a clean and organized work area and follow all company safety procedures.
  • Participate in equipment improvement, reliability, and preventative-maintenance initiatives.
Required Qualifications
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Minimum 5 years of industrial mechanical maintenance or millwright experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience troubleshooting and repairing industrial machinery.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to diagnose problems rather than simply replace components.
  • Experience with hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
  • Ability to read and understand mechanical drawings and hydraulic schematics.
  • Experience with bearings, gearboxes, couplings, shafts, pumps, cylinders, valves, and rotating equipment.
  • Ability to safely rig and move heavy equipment.
  • Ability to use hand tools, power tools, precision measuring equipment, and maintenance equipment.
  • Ability to work independently and make sound decisions in a breakdown situation.
  • Strong commitment to safety and proper lockout/tagout procedures.
  • Ability to work in a hot, dirty, noisy, and physically demanding industrial environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Journeyman Millwright certification or equivalent experience.
  • Experience working in a steel, aluminum, rolling mill, casting, or other heavy manufacturing environment.
  • Experience with hydraulic systems.
  • Experience with industrial pumps and hydraulic power units.
  • Experience with large gearboxes, roll systems, conveyors, and rotating equipment.
  • Welding and fabrication experience.
  • Experience performing precision shaft, bearing, gearbox, and equipment alignment.
  • Experience using hydraulic schematics and troubleshooting hydraulic circuits.
  • Crane and rigging experience.
  • Experience with computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS).
Physical Requirements
The Millwright must be able to:
  • Work on equipment in confined, elevated, and difficult-to-access areas.
  • Frequently stand, walk, bend, kneel, climb, reach, and work in awkward positions.
  • Lift and handle tools, equipment, and mechanical components.
  • Work around operating industrial equipment and in areas with heat, noise, dust, oil, and other manufacturing conditions.
  • Wear all required personal protective equipment.
  • Work overtime, weekends, holidays, and respond to emergency breakdowns as required by production needs.
What We Are Looking For
We’re seeking a dedicated maintenance professional with a demonstrated, long-term commitment to the field.
The ideal candidate takes pride in doing the job correctly, understands the importance of equipment reliability, and is capable of working through a difficult mechanical problem until the root cause is identified.
A successful Millwright will be able to look at a piece of equipment that is not operating correctly, understand how the system is supposed to work, systematically troubleshoot the problem, and determine the appropriate repair.
Reliability, mechanical troubleshooting ability, safety, workmanship, and integrity are essential to this position.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive hourly wage based on experience and qualifications
  • Overtime opportunities
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement plan
  • Paid time off
  • Company-provided safety equipment
  • Opportunities for advancement and additional training
