For oil and gas companies that are expanding their  exploration sites, the millwright&#8217;s primary responsibility may be in  constructing equipment. For companies with established locations, the  millwright may spend most of his or her time maintaining and repairing  equipment. While the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a decrease in the  number of millwright jobs by 15 percent by 2020, this trend most likely won&#8217;t  apply to the oil and gas industry. With many companies expanding drilling and  extraction operations due to hydraulic fracturing, the demand for all  employees, including millwrights, should increase across the country.<\/p>\n<h2>A Millwright in Action<\/h2>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nzf-nP69aeg?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Millwrights  are skilled workers and employers need millwrights with training and  experience, which can take time.
