They assist experienced millwrights with installing, maintaining, and repairing industrial machinery and equipment. At this stage, apprentices are developing foundational skills such as reading blueprints, using hand and power tools, and understanding safety procedures.

Familiarity with hand and power tools, measuring instruments, and safety certifications like WHMIS are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn help apprentices excel in this hands-on role. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring workplace safety, efficient equipment maintenance, and successful progression in the millwright trade.
