MILLWRIGHTS                                        

 

 

 

Millwrights are skilled construction mechanics who study and interpret blueprints and then put their knowledge and expertise to work drilling, welding, and bolting in order to have a perfect fit. Millwrights sometimes work to specifications requiring tolerances to a thousandth of an inch.

 

Millwrights install conveyor systems, escalators, giant electrical turbines generators. They also install and do maintenance on machinery in factories and do much of the precision work in nuclear power plants.
