Millner Named Engineering Director
Edina, Minn., Jan. 31, 2013 – The City of Edina has named Chad Millner Engineering Director.
Millner, who has been serving as interim Engineering Director since November 2013, was hired by the City in
June 2012 as Assistant City Engineer. Prior to joining the City of Edina, Millner worked for SEH, a full-service
engineering, planning and architectural firm, for more than 11 years as a construction and project manager in
municipal and civil engineering. He studied physics at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn., and
received a degree in civil engineering from the University of Minnesota. He will receive his master’s degree
from St. Cloud State University later this spring.
As Engineering Director, Millner will manage 12 full-time employees, oversee the completion of capital
improvement projects and ensure the City’s strategic goals relating to Engineering are met. The Engineering
staff is responsible for the planning, design and construction of the City’s infrastructure, including sidewalks,
bikeways, water systems, street lighting systems, and yearly street reconstruction projects.
“I’m super excited to serve the City of Edina as its Engineer,” Millner said. “I look forward to leading the
department and figuring out the challenges that come with it. I think my skills, in addition to my past
experience, and having served as Interim Director will make for a seamless transition.”
Millner began in his new role Jan. 27.
