TITLE: Millwrights
REQUIREMENTS: 2 years of experience as a millwright or in a closely related field involving heavy machinery setup, alignment, and repair required.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: At least 3 months of vocational training or an apprenticeship in machinery maintenance or millwrighting.
JOB DUTIES: Review blueprints, technical drawings, and manufacturer’s specifications to plan and execute installation processes accurately. Install and align marine propulsion systems, including shafts, propellers, and rudders, ensuring precision and stability for optimal vessel operation. Mount and secure auxiliary machinery such as pumps, compressors, and generators within the engine room and other designated locations. Use alignment tools, such as lasers and dial indicators, to verify that machinery is correctly positioned and secured to prevent excessive wear or malfunction. Conduct routine maintenance checks on mechanical systems, including propulsion systems, winches, cranes, and fuel transfer equipment, to ensure they are in safe, operational condition. Lubricate moving parts, replace worn or damaged components, and adjust equipment settings to enhance performance and prevent future breakdowns. Calibrate and test systems as part of preventive maintenance schedules, ensuring the longevity and reliability of each piece of machinery. Document maintenance activities and findings, updating maintenance logs in compliance with company and regulatory requirements. Inspect and diagnose issues with boat machinery, identifying faults in engines, transmission systems, and hydraulic components. Repair or replace defective parts such as bearings, seals, gears, and belts, using hand tools, power tools, and specialized equipment. Perform detailed alignments and adjustments to fix issues related to vibration, noise, or fluid leaks in machinery. Conduct testing of repaired systems to verify they are fully operational before vessel deployment. Align rotating equipment, including shafts and couplings, to ensure smooth and efficient machinery operation, using precision tools such as micrometers, calipers, and alignment lasers. Perform dynamic balancing of components to reduce wear and tear on systems and increase vessel performance. Ensure alignment of propulsion shafts and steering systems, minimizing stress on components and improving handling. Work closely with other marine specialists, including welders, electricians, and engineers, to align work on complex repairs and installations. Complete detailed service reports documenting work performed, parts replaced, and any relevant measurements, aligning with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Conduct final inspections of installed or repaired systems, ensuring they meet operational and safety standards before the vessel is returned to service. Maintain detailed maintenance and service records, supporting long-term vessel performance and compliance with industry standards.
