Industrial Equipment Millwright (Welder–Mechanic)

Could this be your next challenge?

Picture yourself as the go-to expert who keeps critical industrial equipment running—diagnosing issues, installing systems, and welding repairs that keep production online.

Imagine This Scenario

A conveyor stalls while a crusher vibrates out of spec. You arrive, assess root causes, rig and set replacement components, weld a reinforcement, and return the line to full speed. That’s the impact you’ll make here—every day.

What You’ll Do

• Dismantle, assemble, install, and fabricate equipment: mills, pulverizers, conveyors, crushers, and rotating machinery (belts, chains, fan housings, blowers, motors).
• Diagnose faults and execute repairs on mills, pulverizers, crushers, and conveyors.
• Safely rig, move, and set heavy, bulky units.
• Determine whether removed parts/equipment should be salvaged or scrapped.
• Repair, fabricate, and improve metal components using welding and cutting processes.
• Work from blueprints, verbal directives, or your own innovative concepts to get the job done.
• Support other crafts and apply your skills wherever needed in the plant.
