Here is Matt's Story

  • 0:13 - 0:15
    I started at Miller I was a pipe fitter.
  • 0:15 - 0:20
    I switched piper about a year and a half
    into the Miller.
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    I became Foreman and then
    I was an Operator Foreman from there.
  • 0:24 - 0:28
    Before I came to Miller,
    I was a laborer for three years
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    and then I actually became
    a pipe fitter at another company.
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    I've bought a house,
  • 0:36 - 0:42
    new cars; just a lot more financially stable
    than I was before.
  • 0:42 - 0:46
    Not always paycheck to paycheck.
    Moving up was huge for me.
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    There's a lot that I like about Miller.
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    Versus other contractors,
    I think Miller looks better than anyone else.
  • 0:54 - 1:01
    Our safety department, our OQ Department,
    our Fleet Managers, our guys that we have
  • 1:01 - 1:06
    everything is just I think it's a notch
    above the rest, so Miller is great.
  • 1:06 - 1:13
    I mean, they offer a lot more stuff too;
    you get bonuses, they have the company picnics,
  • 1:14 - 1:18
    they have Employee Care Funds, they have
    scholarships, there's a lot to take advantage here
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    that other contractors don't offer.
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    Miller changed me, I mean it's a lot more stressful now,
    in the I'm position that I'm in.
  • 1:26 - 1:31
    I've had a lot more things I have to do,
    a lot more people have to worry about, safety, you know,
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    but it's all changing for the better,
    it's making me who I want to be,
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    I've always wanted to be a foreman
    so I'm really happy for the opportunity.
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    I kind of motivate myself.
    My parents are really hard workers.
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    I've kind of, I think I just have that in me,
    being a hard worker.
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    And, you know, when I was a pipe fitter
    I always wanted to –even a laborer–
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    I always wanted to be a foreman.
    I always looked at my boss and said,
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    "I want to do that, I wanna be an operator".
    So I've always said that so now
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    that I'm an Operator Foreman I want to be
    a General Foreman, I want to be a Super Tenant.
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    So I'm just always looking at me going forward
    and I always, you know, want to take it one more step.
  • 2:02 - 2:06
    I think Miller is –from a company standpoint–
    everyone looking at Miller
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    we look better than other contractors,
    so I think Miller is here to stay
  • 2:09 - 2:14
    and it's gonna be the next best thing,
    so I want to be a part of the next best thing.
