Millwrights are the industrial mechanics that power our modern world. From factories to power plants, they install and maintain the machines that keep essential industries running.

On a day-to-day basis, millwrights install pumps, turbines, and conveyor systems, troubleshoot mechanical systems, perform routine maintenance, and interpret complex blueprints and schematics. Their work is critical to ensuring that production runs efficiently and safely.

If you enjoy solving problems, figuring out how things work, or tackling complex mechanical challenges — this could be the perfect career path for you. Many millwrights compare the job to working on large-scale mechanical puzzles, which makes it especially rewarding for those with strong critical thinking and hands-on skills.
