Maintenance Millwright

Maintenance Millwright – Manual Fabrication & Equipment Repair The Basics This is a hands-on machining and mechanical repair role inside a production facility that runs older, custom-built equipment. The position opened because a long-tenured employee retired and they're looking for someone who can fill that gap without a lot of handholding. No CNC. No automation. Just real machining: mills, lathes, and the ability to figure out what broke, make the part, and get the line back up. What the Job Involves

  • Use manual Bridgeport mills, lathes, and related tooling to fabricate and repair production components
  • Diagnose mechanical failures on presses, roll formers, and industrial machinery
  • Reverse engineer worn or broken parts when drawings aren't available
  • Keep the tool room and machining area organized and functional
  • Work alongside a maintenance crew and step up when equipment goes down
What They're Looking For
  • At least 2 years running manual machine tools in a production or fabrication environment
  • Comfortable on mills and lathes without relying on CNC or automated setups
  • Strong mechanical instincts — especially on equipment that doesn't have a manual anymore
  • Can work from a worn part or a rough sketch just as easily as a formal drawing
  • Makes decisions independently and doesn't need someone looking over their shoulder
  • Steady, dependable, and not looking for drama
Compensation & Benefits
  • $40–$50/hour based on experience
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Long-standing, privately held manufacturer — stable work environment with low turnover
