He started as a ship captain in 1912. After the death of his father in 1916, he ran the combined business of ship-ownership and shipbuilding until his own death in 1973. In 1930, he established Smith-Sørensens Tankrederi in Arendal. He was also involved in local marine insurance.[1][2] [3]

He was a member of Tromøy municipal council during the term 1916–1919, and then served as mayor from 1919 to 1941 and in 1945. He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament from Aust-Agder in 1945, but was not re-elected in 1949.
