Millwrights Job Information

Millwrights work in factories, power plants and other industrial settings to move, assemble, install or dismantle machinery.

The machines they construct may take days or weeks, and they may work solo or in a team. When a factory is updating its equipment, you will see a millwright in all aspects of their job.
