What is a Millwright?

Millwrights install, maintain, diagnose, and repair equipment such as compressors, pumps,
conveyors, gas and steam turbines, monorails, and extruders. They can be found performing
mission-critical work at coal, gas, nuclear, and alternative-energy power plants. Their skills are
also vital in industries as diverse as automotive, aerospace, food processing, and
pharmaceuticals.
 

Precision is a critical skill for millwrights, who sometimes work with specifications requiring
tolerances to a thousandth of an inch. Ongoing UBC training and skill-enhancement classes
ensure members are experts in the use of tools and instruments. Led by a national labormanagement committee, the UBC’s millwright program actively seeks additional industry
partners to ensure UBC millwrights continue to meet and exceed customer expectations.
