The Job Scope

An industrial mechanic maintains, installs and modifies industrial machinery of many different types.

Troubleshooting is a big part of the job. You basically make sure that production machinery or building systems are working properly.

A millwright installs new machinery and sets up new systems or plants. Of the two, it's more of a construction type of job and means you could move around quite a bit.
