Millwright (Experienced)

About the Role:

INCOA Performance Minerals is seeking a skilled and dedicated Millwright to join our maintenance team in Theodore. You will be responsible for the assembly, installation, maintenance, and repair of industrial machinery and mechanical equipment. We are looking for a “fixer” who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and takes pride in keeping operations running at peak efficiency.

Shift: Rotating Shifts (Must be available for overtime and holidays) 24/7 Shift work: Days 7-3, Evenings: 3-11 Midnight: 11-7

Key Responsibilities:

  • Maintenance & Repair: Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair industrial equipment, including conveyors, grinders, pumps, and pneumatic systems.
  • Installation: Read blueprints, diagrams, and schematic drawings to determine work procedures and install new machinery.
  • Precision Work: Align machines and equipment using hoists, jacks, hand tools, squares, rules, micrometers, and plumb bobs.
  • Preventative Maintenance (PM): Perform routine inspections and lubrication to prevent equipment failure and ensure safety compliance.
  • Fabrication: Use welding and torch-cutting equipment to repair or modify parts as needed.

Requirements:

  • Education: High school diploma or GED required. Vocational school training or a relevant apprenticeship is strongly preferred.
  • Experience: Proven experience as a Millwright or Industrial Maintenance Technician in a manufacturing or heavy industrial setting.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in welding (MIG/TIG/Stick), hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical power transmission.
  • Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders, and work in various weather conditions and industrial environments.
  • Availability: Must be able to work rotating shifts, including nights, weekends, holidays, and mandatory overtime.
  • Logistics: Must have reliable transportation to and from the Theodore facility.

The Ideal Candidate:

We value professionals who are safety-conscious, detail-oriented, and possess a strong work ethic. If you are a problem-solver who doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty to keep the gears turning, you’ll fit right in at INCOA.

Hourly Rate:

$25-$30 BOE

Span

A calculated value that describes the breadth of the particle size distribution by looking at the size of the particle below which 90% of all particles are found (d90), the median and the size of the particle below which 10% of all particles are found (d10).

The Span is calculated from the following equation:

Where:
d90 = particle size below which 90 % of the particles are described
d10 = particle size below which 10% of the particles are described
d50 = particle size below which 50% of the particles are described, also known as the median

Broader distributions have a larger span while narrower distributions have a smaller span.

Level of Ultrafines

The percentage of the total distribution that includes particles that are 0.5 microns or smaller.

Some demanding applications require careful control of the level of very small particles. These particles can make the powder difficult to disperse and can actually absorb important components of formulations ultimately altering end-use performance.

Topcut

The size below which 100% of the particles can be found.

Unlike most ground calcium carbonate suppliers, INCOA specifies at the 100% passing rather than the industry standards of 95% or 98% passing. We recognize that even very low levels of oversize particles can interfere with the performance of our products in your applications

Median

The size below which 50% of the particles can be found.

This is the most common means of describing the size of ground calcium carbonate powders. INCOA describes our medians on the final product as-received by our customers. This means that the specification testing is performed on samples of the shipment before shipment on the final product not on material still in-process.
