Miller Electric Company

What Miller Electric Company does

Miller Electric Company is a commercial electrical and low voltage contractor founded in 1912 and headquartered at 2501 Saint Marys Avenue in Omaha, Nebraska. The firm is employee-owned (ESOP), employs between 101 and 250 people, and operates exclusively within the Omaha metropolitan area, Southwest Iowa, and Eastern Nebraska. It designs, installs, and maintains electrical systems for healthcare facilities, data centers, commercial offices, industrial plants, educational institutions, government buildings, and entertainment venues. Its technical stack centers on Building Information Modeling (BIM), Computer-Aided Design (AutoCAD), Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), in-house prefabrication, arc flash analysis (NFPA 70E), and predictive maintenance via the TEGG program.

The company's service portfolio is delivered across specialized internal departments: a Service Department running 20 vans for 24/7 emergency response; a Custom Commercial Department for mid-size projects; a Low Voltage Department for voice, data, fiber, security, fire alarm, and audio-visual systems; a TEGG/Proactive Service Department offering preventative maintenance with a replacement guarantee; and a BIM/CAD Technology group. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with revenue generated primarily through one-time commercial contracting engagements plus a recurring maintenance and 24/7 service base.

Customer relationships are predominantly enterprise and long-tenured, with multi-decade engagements at Nebraska Medicine (35+ years) and CHI Health (since 1975), and marquee project work for Facebook/Meta's Sarpy Data Center (four data halls, 4M+ sq ft), LinkedIn, PayPal, Creighton University, UNMC, ConAgra, Valmont Industries, Douglas County Justice Center, and Steelhouse Omaha. Distribution is via direct enterprise sales and subcontractor relationships with national general contractors including Kiewit Building Group, Turner Construction, JE Dunn, and MCL Construction. The firm achieved its highest-ever ENR ranking in 2020 (#100 Top 600 Specialty Contractors, #32 Top Electrical Firms) and earned the ConstructSecure Gold Safety Award in December 2021; leadership transitioned to Jason Tagge in 2021 following Ray Bruegman's retirement.
