THE ROLE
The Apprentice Millwright earns their place on the crew every day — by doing the hard labor that keeps a project moving, assisting the Millwright at every opportunity, and absorbing the trade knowledge that gets them promoted.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
- Move, stage, and haul equipment, materials, and tools so the crew always has what it needs, where it needs it.
- Keep the jobsite clean, organized, and safe throughout every shift — clear walkways, no scrap piling up.
- Set up and break down scaffolding, work platforms, ladders, and temporary equipment.
- Offload and receive trucks, handle paperwork, and stage materials when deliveries arrive.
- Assist with rigging, leveling, anchoring, and setting equipment under the direction of a Millwright.
- Support pipe fitting, pipe hanger, and welding tasks — prepping material, purging pipe, maintaining fire watch, and grinding under supervision.
- Help with wall, ceiling, and roof penetrations, roof curbs, equipment pads, and concrete anchoring as directed.
- Follow all ARMI and customer safety requirements — hard hat and safety glasses at minimum, every time.
Every opportunity to assist a Millwright is an opportunity to learn. From day one you will start building real trade skills:
- Reading blueprints, isometric drawings, and equipment installation manuals.
- Proper rigging techniques, weight awareness, and safe use of rigging hardware.
- Using laser levels, chalk lines, and machinist levels to position and level equipment to spec.
- TIG welding fundamentals, conveyor modification, and precision anchoring in food-plant environments.
- OSHA requirements for catwalks, platforms, and stairways.
- How a project runs from mobilization to completion — and where you fit in.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- A strong work ethic and a willingness to do the hard labor that keeps a project moving.
- Coachable, dependable, and on time — takes direction well and follows through.
- Willing to travel and stay out of town for extended periods (per diem provided).
- Able to lift, carry, climb, and work on your feet in an industrial environment.
- Eager to learn the Millwright trade and earn promotion. No prior experience required.
- Strong organizational skills — you manage multiple moving parts without dropping any
- Ability to work independently, communicate clearly, and take ownership without being asked
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record required
