About Nick Smith

I am a motivated employee that takes ownership and pride in my work, in the assets that I manage, and in the people that I support. My goal is to help make the company that employs me a high performing organization. I bring over 22 years of professional Automation, Instrumentation, Electrical, and OT Cyber Security experience to the table. I am well versed in Allen Bradley automation equipment as well as most Terminal Automation Systems and Controls. I have a background in refined oil and gas Pipelines and Terminals, Crude Pipelines, LACT offloading skids, and Rail loading and unloading facilities. I would consider myself a low maintenance employee in regards to being a highly motivated self starter that needs little supervision and support. I am very willing and able to work alone, but truly hit my stride while leading or participating in a team effort. Training the future employees of my industry is a passion of mine. My opinion is,\"If you know what I know, then the work can be assessed and completed in half the time.\". I am very passionate about making sure that the work we complete improves lives and makes a difference in our everyday life, and I love where my career has taken me.
