Born and raised in Westmoreland County, Nicole Miller has been an integral member of CNX’s team for over seven years. She sits on our permitting team, working as a Project Manager to liaise with local, state and federal agencies that oversee our operations to ensure we’re in compliance with all environmental and safety regulations.
In this edition of In the Field, or ‘On the Job’ since we’re recording at CNX HQ, join Nicole as she walks us through her path to CNX and how her team manages the dozens of permit and technical guidance packages so our pipelines, waterlines and well pads are authorized. This component is the very foundation of the energy development process.
In her role, Nicole’s primary responsibilities are to ensure all operations adhere to the regulations as they change or are updated across varying agency frameworks.
“The regulatory world is ever changing, so it’s important that we follow through on our promises and we act responsibly,” Nicole says. “Building a trusting relationship with our regulatory agencies is vital to our long-term success, so we want to do what’s right.”
At CNX, environmental stewardship and safety are priority. We want to make sure our workers, as well as the communities and land that surrounds us, are better off because we’re around. That’s something Nicole appreciates, noting CNX “values the resources, they value the environment, and they value safety, so it’s great to work for a company so close to home that has great values.”
Having received her degree in environmental biology and beginning her career at a local conservation district, Nicole takes pride in working for a company that is dedicated to supporting local energy needs and protecting the communities where we operate.
“Being a part of Appalachian energy means creating and utilizing a local workforce to produce clean, domestic energy. It means providing a positive impact in the communities we serve.”
We are thankful for the diligent work Nicole, alongside CNX’s entire permitting department, does to guide CNX’s environmental and safety performance record so we can continue to sustainably produce abundant Appalachian natural gas.
