Journey Worker - Millwright

Who we are looking for

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Take pride in building, aligning, and installing industrial machinery with precision and craftsmanship.

• Enjoy solving mechanical challenges and working with your hands every day.

• Thrive in environments where no two projects look the same — mills, plants, shops, fabrications, and field installations.

• Are comfortable working independently but enjoy collaborating with engineers, machinists, fabricators, and project teams.

• Are safety-focused, reliable, and committed to doing quality work the first time.

• Want to grow from L1 to L5 through training, hands‑on experience, and increasing responsibility.

• Are energized by being part of a company rebuilding American manufacturing.

If this sounds like you, Optimation offers a long‑term home to grow your millwright career.

(Responsibilities increase as you progress from L1 to L5)

• Install machinery and equipment using layout plans, blueprints, schematics, and technical drawings.

• Dismantle, move, assemble, and install machinery using hoists, dollies, lifts, rollers, and rigging equipment.

• Precisely align machinery (shafts, conveyors, motors, gearboxes, mechanical systems) using micrometers, squares, optical alignment tools, plumb bobs, rules, and other precision instruments.

• Bolt, weld, rivet, and fasten components to foundations or supporting structures.

• Operate lathes, mills, and other shop machining equipment as needed.

• Perform rigging and crane work safely and efficiently; advanced rigging is a plus.

• Assist in mechanical troubleshooting, repair, and preventative maintenance activities.

• Maintain awareness of construction and industrial site hazards; follow OSHA and company safety standards.

• Display a high level of craftsmanship and strong work ethic in all tasks.

• Physically capable of climbing, lifting heavy objects, working from heights, and entering confined spaces.

• Ability to work in hot, cold, and outdoor environments in all weather conditions.

• Ability to read and write in English and understand mechanical drawings.

• Basic computer and communication skills.

• Regular full‑time availability, working a 40‑hour day schedule.

• Willingness to work overtime or flexible hours as required.

• Experience working as a millwright, mechanic, or industrial installer is helpful; advanced roles (L4–L5) require demonstrated mastery.

Hourly rate for this position is expected to be between $27.00 to $55.00 based on education and years of experience. This role is eligible to participate in our annual bonus plan and long term incentive plan.
