Day in the Life

What does a role as a Summer Student with Miller Maintenance look like? It is a role for someone who enjoys working outdoors in nature, likes to engage in physical activity and looks forward to the chance for every day to be a little different than the day before! Miller Maintenance provides highway maintenance for the Ministry of Transportation on provincial highways. We are responsible for everything along the highway from the fence line and keeping the motoring public safe! This is a very crucial role because if we don’t do what we do then traffic can’t go anywhere! As a summer student you are providing support for our full‑time crews and helping complete tasks ranging from traffic control for accidents on the highway to cutting grass and weed whipping behind guiderails as well as inspecting culverts and installing signs along the highway.

You may also be tasked with repairing guiderails which help keep motorists safe along the shoulder of the highway, and you could be helping patch potholes in the driving surface of the highway as well as picking litter to keep our highways clean and looking great!
