Millwright /Piledriver Apprenticeship
What is a Millwright / Piledriver?
Millwrights install conveyor systems, escalators, giant electrical turbines and generators. They install and do maintenance on machinery in factories and do much of the precision work in nuclear power plants. They are skilled construction mechanics who study and interpret blueprints and then put their knowledge and expertise to work drilling, welding and bolting. Piledrivers are the people who work with pile-driving rigs. They work on big machines that look like cranes, but shake the ground as they drive metal, concrete or wood piling into the ground during the early stages of construction. Pile drivers are the first workers at the construction site. They drive metal sheet piling to hold back the dirt during excavations. They drive concrete and metal piling as part of the foundation system upon which skyscrapers are built, and they drive wood and concrete piling to hold up docks, wharfs and bridges.
