Health & Safety Field Coordinator

What we do

At Miller Environmental Corporation, we give industrial by-products (waste) a new life through physical and chemical processing.

Miller is a 100% Canadian owned company which operates one of the largest independent waste treatment and processing facilities in Western Canada. Through research and innovation, we develop new methods to treat or repurpose waste and strive for the highest recovery rate of waste possible. We treat waste from all regions of Canada and the United States, literally demonstrating that “All roads lead back to Miller.”

At Miller, safety is more than compliance — it is a core operational value.
