Advastar specializes in millwright staffing for industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and heavy equipment installations nationwide. With over 60 years of combined industry experience, we’ve become the trusted millwright staffing agency for contractors and facility owners who need precision machinery installation, alignment, and maintenance expertise to keep their operations running smoothly.
At Advastar, we understand that millwright staffing requires deep knowledge of mechanical systems, precision measurement, and industrial equipment. Our millwright recruitment services are tailored to match your specific machinery and equipment needs—whether you’re installing conveyor systems, setting turbines, aligning rotating equipment, or performing preventive maintenance on production lines. This specialized approach ensures we connect you with millwrights who have the exact technical skills and equipment experience your project demands.
Our millwright staffing expertise covers critical industrial sectors where precision and reliability matter most. We provide millwrights for power generation facilities including coal, gas, nuclear, wind, and solar installations. Our staffing solutions support manufacturing plants across automotive, steel, paper, chemical processing, and food & beverage industries. We also specialize in millwright staffing for data centers, refineries, mining operations, and large-scale equipment retrofits and rebuilds.
Whether you need millwrights for turbine alignments, pump installations, gearbox overhauls, or complete production line setups, Advastar’s recruiters understand the technical requirements and time-sensitive nature of industrial machinery work. We maintain a network of millwrights experienced with laser alignment tools, dial indicators, micrometers, and modern vibration analysis equipment. Our millwright candidates possess relevant certifications including NCCER Millwright credentials, rigging certifications, precision alignment training, and facility-specific safety requirements like MSHA, ISNetworld, and confined space certifications.
Advastar’s proven track record in millwright staffing comes from understanding that machinery downtime costs money. We’ve built lasting partnerships with clients who rely on us for planned maintenance outages, emergency breakdowns, capital equipment installations, and facility expansions. Whether you need a single specialist for a critical alignment or a full crew for a plant turnaround, Advastar has the millwright talent network and industry knowledge to keep your equipment running at peak performance.
Partner with Advastar today to access skilled millwright professionals who understand the precision, safety, and reliability your industrial operations demand.
Throughput lives or dies on conveyors. We supply millwrights who install and service belt, roller, sortation, and palletizing systems, square frames, track belts, set tension, align drives, and tune VFDs and sensors. Guards go on, interlocks work, and uptime climbs because every splice and bearing is right.
A fab shop must be safe, efficient, and repeatable. We place millwrights who install and maintain saws, brakes, shears, weld cells, dust collection, and overhead cranes, set jigs and fixtures, and build PMs in your CMMS. Air, power, and material flow are laid out for throughput and compliance.
Heavy equipment is only as good as its install. We place millwrights who can rig, set, level, and grout machinery, verify anchor patterns, square and plumb frames, torque to spec, and run dry and wet commissioning. Expect techs fluent with laser levels, precision measuring, LOTO, and start-up checklists so your first run is clean.
Moves stall when alignment, utilities, or sequencing go sideways. Our millwrights crate and rig, map utilities, set new lines, align shafts, and bring machines back to baseline performance. They manage punch lists with production, EH&S, and GC partners so you hit the new capacity date without surprises.
The window is short and the risk is high. Our shutdown millwrights plan scopes to the hour, stage parts, execute under strict permits, and turn equipment back faster with quality holds built in. Confined space, hot work, and LOTO are second nature, so you restart on time with fewer punch items.
Precision is everything. Our millwrights use dial indicators and laser tools to align pumps, turbines, and gearboxes to tight tolerances, account for thermal growth, set couplings, and verify vibration and balance. The result is lower amperage draw, longer bearing life, and fewer unplanned shutdowns.
As GE’s staffing partner of the year, we’re dedicated to serving our clients with world-class support, and we’d love to learn more about your objectives to create a custom millwright recruiting solution for your next project: Contract Staffing, Contract-to-Hire, Direct Placement, or Payrolling Services.
We’ve built our reputation on filling a wide range of millwright positions over the years. Our team regularly places machinery installers and riggers who handle the heavy lifting, along with precision millwrights who work with tight tolerances down to thousandths of an inch. We also specialize in finding conveyor installers for material handling systems, turbine and pump mechanics who know their way around rotating equipment, and gearbox specialists who understand complex power transmission. Beyond that, we place maintenance millwrights for day-to-day operations, certified welders who can fabricate and repair on the fly, and experienced millwright supervisors and foremen who keep crews productive and safe.
We’ve staffed just about every type of industrial project you can imagine. Our millwrights handle new equipment installations and complete plant expansions when companies are growing. They’ve also managed entire facility relocations where every piece of equipment needs to be disconnected, moved, and reinstalled perfectly. We regularly staff conveyor system builds and repairs, from simple belt replacements to complex sorting systems. Our teams perform precision turbine and pump alignments that keep plants running smoothly, and we’ve helped set up entire fabrication shops from scratch. We also provide crews for boiler and tank work that requires specialized expertise, and we’re one of the go-to staffing partners for shutdowns and turnarounds where timing is everything. Recently, we’ve been expanding into renewable energy projects, particularly utility-scale solar installations and battery energy storage systems.
We don’t just take someone’s word that they’re a qualified millwright. Our vetting process digs deep into their actual hands-on experience. We verify that candidates can perform laser and dial indicator alignments, understand proper leveling techniques, and know how to torque bolts to manufacturer specifications. We make sure they can read and interpret complex blueprints and technical drawings. Every candidate goes through our technical screening process that’s customized for your specific equipment and tolerance requirements. We also check their tool inventory to ensure they come prepared, verify their references from previous supervisors, and review their safety record in detail. If someone’s going to represent Advastar on your site, we make sure they’re the real deal.
Our millwright network comes with all the certifications modern industrial sites require. Most hold NCCER Millwright certifications that prove their technical competence. Depending on your needs, we have millwrights with OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 training, and MSHA certification for mining operations. For secure facilities, many carry TWIC cards, and we have plenty of certified riggers and signal persons for heavy lifting operations. Our database includes operators certified on forklifts and aerial lifts, workers trained in confined space entry, and those who understand lockout/tagout procedures inside and out. We also have millwrights certified for hot work permits, and we regularly help them complete site-specific orientations through ISNetworld, Avetta, or whatever safety management system you use.
Absolutely, and we understand these are make-or-break moments for your operation. We’ve supported countless shutdowns where every hour of downtime costs serious money. Our approach involves building shift-based crews that can work around the clock, and we help coordinate pre-staging of critical parts and materials so there’s no waiting around. We assign experienced lead millwrights and QA/QC personnel who ensure work meets specifications the first time. Our teams are used to working under strict permit controls and tight deadlines. The goal is always the same: get your assets back online safely and on schedule with minimal disruption to your production.
We’re flexible and work however you need us to. Sometimes you just need that one specialist who knows a specific piece of equipment inside and out, and we can find that person. Other times, you need a complete turnkey crew for a major project. In those cases, we can assemble entire teams including a lead millwright, foreman, journeymen millwrights, welders, electricians, and even dedicated safety and QA support personnel. We match our staffing approach to your project scope, timeline, and site requirements, whether that’s union or non-union.
We offer whatever employment structure works best for your situation. Many clients use our contract services for turnarounds and capital projects where they need skilled workers for a defined period. Contract-to-hire is popular when you want to evaluate someone’s performance before making a permanent offer. And when you’re looking to build your core maintenance team, we handle direct placements to find millwrights who’ll become long-term assets to your organization. This flexibility lets you scale up for busy periods while still having a pathway to secure permanent talent when the right person comes along.
Speed is often critical in our business, and we’ve structured our operations to respond fast. Thanks to our national network of pre-qualified millwrights, we can usually present you with qualified candidates within a few days of receiving your requirements. Sometimes even faster for emergency situations. We operate nationwide and have successfully staffed projects in every corner of the United States, from major metropolitan areas to remote locations that require travel and per diem arrangements. We’re comfortable supporting 24/7 operations and have millwrights who are willing to work nights, weekends, and holidays when production demands it.
The more details you can provide upfront, the better we can match candidates to your needs. We’ll want to understand your scope of work and what specific tasks the millwrights will perform. If you can share your equipment list and any OEM manuals, that helps us screen for relevant experience. We need to know your tolerance requirements and alignment specifications so we can find millwrights who work at that precision level. Tell us about your schedule, including start date, expected duration, and shift patterns. We’ll need details about site access requirements and safety protocols, whether it’s a union or non-union environment, and if you’re offering per diem for travelers. Finally, let us know the reporting structure so candidates understand who they’ll be working with and how the chain of command operates.
We stand behind our placements because our reputation depends on your success. For direct hires, we offer a replacement guarantee that protects your investment if things don’t work out. For contract crews, we don’t just drop them off and disappear. We maintain regular check-ins during the critical first few weeks to ensure they’re meeting performance expectations, following safety protocols, and integrating well with your team. If any issues arise, we address them immediately. Our goal is to become a trusted extension of your maintenance and operations team, not just another staffing vendor.RetryClaude can make mistakes.
