Who we are looking for

You’ll be a great fit if you:

  • Take pride in building, aligning, and installing industrial machinery with precision and craftsmanship.

  • Enjoy solving mechanical challenges and working with your hands every day.

  • Thrive in environments where no two projects look the same — mills, plants, shops, fabrications, and field installations.

  • Are comfortable working independently but enjoy collaborating with engineers, machinists, fabricators, and project teams.

  • Are safety-focused, reliable, and committed to doing quality work the first time.

  • Want to grow from L1 to L5 through training, hands-on experience, and increasing responsibility.

  • Are energized by being part of a company rebuilding American manufacturing.

If this sounds like you, Optimation offers a long-term home to grow your millwright career.

(Responsibilities increase as you progress from L1 to L5)

  • Install machinery and equipment using layout plans, blueprints, schematics, and technical drawings.

  • Dismantle, move, assemble, and install machinery using hoists, dollies, lifts, rollers, and rigging equipment.

  • Precisely align machinery (shafts, conveyors, motors, gearboxes, mechanical systems) using micrometers, squares, optical alignment tools, plumb bobs, rules, and other precision instruments.

  • Bolt, weld, rivet, and fasten components to foundations or supporting structures.

  • Operate lathes, mills, and other shop machining equipment as needed.

  • Perform rigging and crane work safely and efficiently; advanced rigging is a plus.

  • Assist in mechanical troubleshooting, repair, and preventative maintenance activities.

  • Maintain awareness of construction and industrial site hazards; follow OSHA and company safety standards.

  • Display a high level of craftsmanship and strong work ethic in all tasks.

What you will bring to the team

  • Physically capable of climbing, lifting heavy objects, working from heights, and entering confined spaces.

  • Ability to work in hot, cold, and outdoor environments in all weather conditions.

  • Ability to read and write in English and understand mechanical drawings.

  • Basic computer and communication skills.

  • Regular full-time availability, working a 40-hour day schedule.

  • Willingness to work overtime or flexible hours as required.

  • Experience working as a millwright, mechanic, or industrial installer is helpful; advanced roles (L4–L5) require demonstrated mastery.

Compensation Range: Hourly rate for this position is expected to be between $27.00 to $55.00 based on education and years of experience. This role is eligible to participate in our annual bonus plan and long term incentive plan.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
