Millwrights Local 443 Fills the Manpower Shortage for the Regional Oil & Gas Industry

The surge of oil and gas production has also created a manpower shortage. Skilled millwrights to install and maintain mechanical operations critical to this industry's success are in high demand—but in low numbers.

We understand that their job is to keep a worksite operating smoothly and safely. They are trained, tested, and credentialed for work in oil refineries, chemical plants, gas pipelines, natural gas processing units and more.

Technical skills are honed and ready for exploration, development, drilling, production, and decommissioning projects. We are prepared to expertly install, construct, repair and maintain multi-million-dollar production and refinery equipment, such as stationary and industrial engines, compressors, and pumps.

Our reputation for excellence includes rigging and signaling, welding, alignment, and fabrications.

This intense training has created leaders who promote a productive and safe worksite with their work ethic and positive attitude.

Certified Rigger and Signaler Program
 the program is now accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agency. The certification exceeds all requirements for riggers and signalers in the USA and Canada.


Training Spotlight: Compressors
 The 40-hour compressor training class covers every level of compressors: Basic knowledge of compressors and how they work, disassembly and problem diagnosis, and reassembly to exact specifications.

OIL AND GAS

As trends emerge and standards evolve in the construction industry, training programs are developed and presented, so that our millwrights meet the challenges encountered on the job site. For instance, when a demand for turbine experts surfaced, we worked with industry leaders Atlantic Plant Maintenance and Siemens to develop gas and steam turbine qualification programs to train our millwrights in the newest power plant technology.

The UBC's International Training Center in Las Vegas now hosts a turbine training facility with equipment from these partners for hands-on instruction.

At the ITC, our millwrights and instructors learn from hands-on training with the most advanced equipment and tools available in this industry. As a result, our unmatched training creates professionals who are not only proficient in all material handling skills, but also who understand the importance of health and safety practices.

Attracting and retaining manpower is now a primary business objective for production companies. By working with Millwrights Local 443, you will avoid:

  • creating your own training program or vetting the qualifications of tech school programs
  • waiting for new training programs to produce graduates
  • spending resources for out-of-state or out-of-region workers
  • funding a menu of perks and incentives to keep existing employees
  • wondering if your crew will be productive and safe

Partnering with the EMRC nets the following assets from our millwrights and contractors:

Dedication: We come to work every day with a positive attitude, a professional appearance, and a determination to finish the job correctly the first time.

Availability: Our thousands of millwrights enable our contractors to be fully staffed at all times, which allows for quick response to emergencies and other installation challenges.

Timeliness: Meeting schedules is key, and our crews know that fast, accurate installations are priority one.

Flexibility: Compressed schedules, adjustments in daily work hours, work days and work weeks, and adjusting staffing numbers are just some of the strategies we will employ to keep your project on time and on budget.

Customer Service: We are trained to not only finish work according to the customer's satisfaction, but to follow through with training, maintenance and customer service. One call puts the best-trained maintenance crews at the work site to get the system up and running as fast as possible.
