Manufacturing Techniques - Millwright Apprenticeship

Description

This 720-hour program, consisting of three 240-hour levels, is designed to provide the apprentice with theoretical knowledge of all aspects of the industrial mechanic (millwright) trade as well as practical training necessary to complement the apprentice's on-the-job training experience.

Career Opportunities

Construction millwrights and industrial mechanics (NOC 7311) install, maintain, troubleshoot, overhaul and repair stationary industrial machinery and mechanical equipment. This unit group includes industrial textile machinery mechanics and repairers. Construction millwrights are employed by millwrighting contractors. Millwrights are employed in most industries in Canada: oil and gas, mining, automation and robotics, hospitals, food industries, and manufacturing.

Program Learning Outcomes

The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:

1. conduct predictive and preventative maintenance procedures on mechanical systems and industrial processes to prevent costly mechanical failure;
2. analyze and solve routine technical problems through the application of electrical, mechanical, and quality control procedures;
3. follow safe working procedures including the proper use of personal protective equipment to ensure a safe working environment;
4. apply knowledge of manufacturing materials, operations, and processes to produce components and maintain a high level of efficiency in manufacturing;
5. work responsibly and effectively in accordance with appropriate practices and procedures to prevent breakdowns;
6. interpret schematics and other technical documents to distinguish the manufacturing process, assembly of components, and specification of manufacturing tolerance;
7. measure, inspect, report on, and make recommendations for maintenance and machine refurbishment as part of the stakeholder quality systems and quality assurance program;
8. compile detailed and accurate documentation of all maintenance in order to have complete records;
9. analyze and problem solve to determine the root cause of machine failure, maintain effective functioning, and improve efficiency of operations.
