Bringing it back to
Saskatchewan
After gaining a total of 13 years of diverse
surveying and business experience, in 2015
Miller carried those skills back to where it
all started, opening the company’s head of-fice
in Moose Jaw and operating a field of-fice
in the town of Leader, close to the
Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
When Miller hired and partnered with
another former SIAST graduate, Corban
Christie, S.L.S., P. Surv., Milltek became a
registered Saskatchewan land surveying
company, qualified to do legal land surveys
in the province.
The move to Moose Jaw has proven to
be a great change for the company in more
ways than location, as a good portion of
work now involves legal land surveys as
well as construction surveys, adding to the
company’s list of services.
“We now have the package deal to offer
companies that are planning projects of
any size – from the preliminary planning
and design stage, legal survey, right through
to final construction,” said Miller.
Milltek currently has eight employ-ees
who carry diplomas of geomatics en-gineering
technology, computer-aided
drafting and design, cartography and civ-il
engineering technology. Having gone
through the Cooperative Work Program
himself, Miller is committed to doing what
he can to support students from the local
Sask Polytech.
“There are no apprenticeship programs
for the survey industry, but that’s where the
co-op programs come in,” said Miller. “Right
MEMBER PROFILE
now, one of our current employees is work-ing
towards achieving a civil engineering
diploma. We take pride in hiring local and
supporting our community and surround-ing
areas as much as we can.”
“We take pride in hiring
local and supporting our
community and surrounding
