HOUSTON, January 20, 2026 - As Smith & Burgess looks ahead to 2026, we are reaffirming our ongoing commitment to fostering a workplace culture built on trust, collaboration, and technical excellence.
And as we continue to grow our global team, we remain focused on creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work. Clear communication, respect for diverse perspectives, and opportunities for professional growth are central to our culture and how we operate as an organization.
Built on People and Purpose
“Our people are the heart of Smith & Burgess,” said Michelle Ramirez, Director of Internal Operations. “Our goal is to cultivate a culture where individuals can thrive, collaborate across disciplines, and feel supported in both their professional and personal development. This commitment is reflected in the day-to-day experience of our teams and the work we do together.”
That emphasis on people-focused leadership and employee experience was reflected in our recognition as a 2025 Top Workplace, based entirely on anonymous employee feedback. While we do not pursue recognition for its own sake, this distinction provides meaningful insight into how our team experiences the workplace we strive to create.
“We are grateful for the contributions of every member of our team,” continued Ramirez. “Looking ahead, we remain focused on strengthening our culture and supporting our people as we move into 2026 and beyond.”
A Culture That Supports Growth
As we continue to expand our global footprint and technical capabilities, maintaining a strong workplace culture remains a priority. Our work is highly technical, and strong outcomes depend on teams that communicate clearly, collaborate effectively, and hold one another to high standards.
That focus includes collaboration across teams and offices so expertise is shared efficiently, professional growth and development that supports deeper technical skills, and a consistent emphasis on technical excellence. This people first approach directly supports the company’s mission of protecting people, the environment, and facilities through high quality process safety engineering and consulting services.
