millwright

/ˈmɪɫɹaɪt/ noun

A person who builds, installs, and repairs machinery in mills or factories.

Word Origin A millwright is literally a 'mill-maker' — combining Latin 'mola' (millstone) and Old English 'wyrhta' (worker, maker). The word 'wright' is an old term for a skilled craftsman, still alive in shipwright, wheelwright, and even playwright (a maker of plays). The same root 'wyrhta' is related to 'work' and 'worker', so a millwright is the person who builds and maintains mills, a crucial trade in pre-industrial times.

noun A person who builds, installs, and repairs machinery in mills or factories.

The millwright fixed the broken conveyor belt at the grain processing plant.
