建筑工匠和工业机械师

Construction millwrights and industrial mechanics

Read blueprints, diagrams and schematic drawings to determine work procedures

Install, align, dismantle and move stationary industrial machinery and mechanical equipment, such as pumps, fans, tanks, conveyors, furnaces and generators according to layout plans using hand and power tools

Operate hoisting and lifting devices such as cranes, jacks and tractors to position machinery and parts during the installation, set-up and repair of machinery

Inspect and examine machinery and equipment to detect and investigate irregularities and malfunctions

Install, troubleshoot and maintain power transmission, vacuum, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and programmable logic controls

Adjust machinery and repair or replace defective parts

Operate machine tools such as lathes and grinders to fabricate parts required during overhaul, maintenance or set-up of machinery

Clean, lubricate and perform other routine maintenance work on machinery

Construct foundations for machinery or direct other workers to construct foundations

Assemble machinery and equipment prior to installation using hand and power tools and welding equipment.

Textile machinery mechanics and repairers

Apply mechanical repair principles and procedures to make sure that machinery runs properly

Detect defects and excessive wear in machinery and identify slight differences in dimensions and shapes of component parts

Repair and overhaul electrical and mechanical systems on textile machinery and replace and align moving parts as required

Set-up and adjust complex machinery for new patterns and products

Analyze information to perform maintenance such as cleaning and lubrication of textile machinery, troubleshooting, and to test running and proper operation of machines

Confer with management to recommend equipment changes and modifications and in evaluating new equipment.

Completion of secondary school and training courses or a vocational program is usually required.

Completion of a three- to four-year apprenticeship program or A combination of over five years of work experience and industry courses in industrial machinery repair or millwrighting is usually required to be eligible for trade certification.

Textile machinery mechanics hired from other industries may require additional training in textile processes and experience as a textile manufacturing machinery operator.

Industrial mechanic (millwright) trade certification is available, but voluntary, in all provinces and territories.

Construction millwright trade certification is available, but voluntary, in Quebec and Ontario.

Industrial sewing machine mechanic trade certification is available, but voluntary, in Quebec.

Red Seal endorsement is also available to qualified industrial mechanics or millwrights upon successful completion of the interprovincial Red Seal examination.

Construction millwrights are mostly engaged in the initial installation of industrial plant machinery and equipment; industrial mechanics are more concerned with the post-installation maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment.

Industrial mechanics and millwrights may be cross-trained in a second trade such as pipefitting, welding, machining or electrical maintenance.

The Red Seal endorsement allows for interprovincial mobility.

Progression to supervisory positions is possible with experience.
