Our Depth

Since 1978, Miller Consulting Engineers (founded by Ray Miller, PE, SE) has helped shape communities throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond. While the tools and technology of structural engineering have evolved dramatically over the decades, the foundation of our work has remained unchanged: sound engineering judgment, technical rigor, and a commitment to serving our clients well.

Our firm has grown through generations of engineers who have built upon the knowledge and experience of those before them. That continuity gives us a unique perspective—one that balances lessons learned from thousands of completed projects with an understanding of today’s materials, construction methods, and performance expectations.

More than four decades later, we continue to approach every project with the same goal that inspired our founding: providing thoughtful, reliable structural engineering solutions that stand the test of time.

“We appreciate your commitment to the project and acknowledge your willingness to work with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department over the course of several design iterations. Moreover, you stayed committed to the project through the pandemic, funding crisis, and changes in operations. I am highly impressed by your work and hope Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and Miller Engineering can find opportunities to work together in the future.”

— Oregon Parks and Recreation Department

“Miller Consulting Engineers was prompt in response to the request and follow-up. My only regret is that we do not have more facility funding to support more engineering projects!”

— Business Manager for Gaston Public Schools, District 511 JT

“Now that our new state-of-the-art Worship Center and support areas are complete, we stand back and look with amazement at the beautiful, practical and excellent engineered complex . . . MCE played a key role with innovative engineering techniques that will allow for multifaceted uses such as theater, community events, conferences and a variety of musical concerts.”

— Local Community Church

“The district is very satisfied at the successful outcomes of both projects including the accuracy of costs and ability to meet timelines.”

— School District Facilities Director

“[MCE] helped the Task Force work through the difficult questions of how to meet contemporary seismic and building codes while preserving the historic integrity of the furnace.”

— City of Lake Oswego

“Your efforts to get us the detailed documents completed on time enabled me to get permitted prior to the new codes being invoked, and also to schedule my builder in time to get the job rolling. We’re very happy with the addition and you helped make it happen. I’d definitely recommend Miller to anybody with a residential project.”

— Private Homeowner

“Overall, MCE’s knowledge and understanding of the process of providing engineering services for education projects are thorough and reliable.”

— Director of Facilities, Planning, and Property, Hillsboro School District

“Your assistance on this project was invaluable. You helped avert an exponentially costlier disaster.”

— Portland Parks and Recreation

Our Culture

Experience Enables Possibility

Nearly five decades of practice across every building type and structural system means our engineers have seen it before — and know how to solve it. That depth of experience lets us move faster, anticipate problems, and deliver more creative solutions.

Relationships Over Transactions

Most of our work comes through referrals. Clients return because we prioritize their interests, communicate proactively, and treat every project — large or small — as if our reputation depends on it. Because it does.

Engineering Judgement

Software has transformed our tools, but the most critical ingredient in structural engineering is still human judgement. Our principals bring decades of refined intuition to every analysis, balancing code compliance, constructability, and economy.

Collaborative by Nature

Great buildings are team efforts. We integrate early with architects, mechanical engineers, and contractors to surface structural solutions that enhance the design rather than constrain it. Coordination saves money and produces better buildings.
