Experienced Millwright? Your skills are worth more — and this opportunity proves it.

We’re looking for an experienced Mechanical Millwright to join a premier wood-products manufacturer in Albany as a direct-hire employee.

Starting at $40.21/hour with the potential for an additional $3.00/hour shift differential, this is an opportunity for a skilled industrial mechanic who knows how to troubleshoot, repair, align, fabricate, and keep heavy production equipment running.

This isn't an entry-level maintenance job. You'll be working with hydraulics, pumps, gearboxes, bearings, precision alignment, welding, fabrication, and large-scale industrial equipment in a fast-paced mill environment.

If you're the person everyone calls when the equipment goes down, we want to talk to you.

What You’ll Do

• Respond to mill breakdowns and troubleshoot mechanical issues to get equipment back online.
• Diagnose, repair, and maintain hydraulic systems, pumps, bearings, gearboxes, and other industrial equipment.
• Perform precision mechanical maintenance and preventive maintenance.
• Read and interpret mechanical and hydraulic drawings, schematics, and work orders.
• Perform welding, fabrication, equipment installation, and alignment.
• Use laser alignment, torque, belt-tensioning, and other precision maintenance tools and techniques.
• Partner with operators and maintenance teammates to identify equipment issues and improve reliability.
• Investigate equipment failures and help determine root causes — not just temporary fixes.
• Document maintenance and repair work using SAP.
• Follow rigorous safety and lockout/tagout procedures while working around heavy industrial equipment.

What You’ll Have

• Millwright Card OR 3+ years of verifiable industrial/commercial mechanic experience required.
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting and diagnostic skills.
• Hands-on experience with hydraulics, pumps, bearings, and gearboxes.
• Welding and metal fabrication experience.
• Experience installing, aligning, repairing, and maintaining industrial machinery.
• Ability to read mechanical and hydraulic schematics and technical drawings.
• Familiarity with precision measurement and alignment tools.
• Experience with predictive or reliability-centered maintenance practices is a plus.
• Strong commitment to safety and proper lockout/tagout procedures.
• Ability to work in an active industrial environment that includes stairs, ladders, machinery, noise, dust, changing temperatures, and extended periods on your feet.

Why You’ll Love It

• $40.21/hour starting pay.
• Up to an additional $3.00/hour shift differential.
• DIRECT HIRE — join the company from day one.
• Profit-sharing potential.
• 12-hour 2-2-3 schedule means more full days off throughout the month.
• Put your skilled-trades experience to work on challenging industrial equipment.
• Work for an established industry leader with long-term career opportunities.
• Comprehensive health insurance.
• Life insurance.
• Paid vacation and holidays.
• Paid maternity and paternity leave.
• Retirement plan with generous employer contributions.
• Tuition reimbursement and continued learning opportunities.
• Opportunities to develop your skills and advance your career.
