Power Generation
Staying competitive means completing plant outages on time, building quickly and correctly, and maintaining power generation equipment with pinpoint accuracy.
Fueling Productivity in the Power Generation Industry
UBC millwrights are power generation industry experts with the experience to solve problems and complete tasks with superior skills. We’re highly skilled trained professionals constructing, servicing and maintaining (SMRs) small modular reactors, gas and nuclear power industries — and in alternative energy plants including wind, hydro and solar.
The Way We Work
Starting with pre-project conferences to outline the scope of the work, manpower needs and scheduling issues, our contractors keep lines of communication open throughout the life of the project. We work with you to keep customers competitive and we offer foreman and superintendent training for solid jobsite leadership.

Millwright Regional Council – Canada believes a safe worksite is achieved only through comprehensive training for every millwright on every project. Our members must complete and achieve mastery of the following health and safety training programs.

Our Excellence Is Grounded in Training and Partnerships
Led by an international Labour-Management Committee, the UBC millwright program seeks out industry partnerships with the goal of delivering exactly what is needed on every job.
Our partners include Siemens Generation Service, General Electric (APM), First Energy, Exelon and others, all of which assist in our training by providing equipment, expert consultation, guest instructors, and more.
For example, 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. UBC Millwright training also includes technical categories such as rigging and signaling, aerial lift, machinery alignment, optical alignment, forklifts, welding, and bolt tensioning.
