About The Position

Miller Electric is hosting a Manufacturing Interview and Hiring Day on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for multiple first-shift manufacturing openings across its divisions. Applicants may express interest in one or more roles, and selected candidates will be contacted to schedule an interview and receive event details.

Material Handlers receive, inspect, store, and deliver materials; operate forklifts; process shipping, receiving, and inventory transactions; and support cycle counts and accurate inventory records.

All roles require a high school diploma or GED equivalent and call for reliable, self-motivated team members who communicate well, take personal accountability, and focus on safety, quality, and customer needs. Employees must be willing to cross-train and support other production tasks as needed.
