MILLWRIGHT
Oregon Apprenticeship Guide
 
Job Description
Millwrights install and maintain conveyor systems, escalators, giant electrical turbines and generators. They also maintain machinery in factories and carry out precision work in manufacturing plants.
 
Working Conditions
Millwrights work indoors and outdoors with machine tools and precision instruments requiring a keen eye for a perfect fit. Millwrights sometimes work to specifications requiring tolerances to a thousandth of an inch. They work primarily in metal.
 
Wages
Beginning apprentices start at approximately 75 percent of the journey-level wage. Upon successful completion of required class work and on-the-job hours, wages increase usually every six months, until the journey-level rate is achieved.

The apprenticeship lasts four to five years. Apprentices must complete a minimum of 144 related classroom hours per year and 8,000 on-the-job training hours.
 
Minimum Qualifications
Apprenticeship applicants must be at least 18 years of age. In addition, they must provide proof of high school graduation or general education development (GED) equivalent.
 
Local apprenticeship committees may require additional qualifications.
