Black & Veatch Careers, Benefits, Review

At Black & Veatch, we know that a welcoming, inclusive, and diverse workplace is an incubator for innovative thinking. And we recognize that each of our employee-owners has something to teach, something to learn, and something to contribute, both to our clients and to the future we want to create.  

Our Shared Commitment:  We believe creating and sustaining a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable work environment begins with a shared commitment to own our responsibility and opportunity to always treat each other as equals. Our shared commitments include:

◦ Advancing and supporting racial and ethnic diversity 

◦ Elevating and advancing women 

◦ Embracing authenticity at work including sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression 

◦ Creating an inclusive, accessible workplace that supports persons with disabilities 

Employee Resource Groups: We are proud of our growing Employee Resource Groups at Black & Veatch. Each plays a vital role in fostering deeper connections in the workplace and reflecting the diverse communities around us. Groups include: DiverseAbility, Pride, EBONY, NextGen Young Professionals, GlobalFusion, ChristianFriends Network, MERGE, WAVE, BienVenidos, and Thrive.  

Recruiting: To support our ongoing efforts to attract and reach a wider candidate audience, we actively partner with HBCUs, such as:

◦ North Carolina A&T, Florida A&M. Alabama A&M, Prairie View A&M, Howard University, and Jackson State University

◦ The Black & Veatch Foundation awards grants each year to college organizations for professional/diversity related STEM education efforts like The Society for Women Engineers, The Society of Black Engineers, and The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.

New in 2023!
We’ve created a new program with a pair of resources to boost the personal DEI development of our employee-owners:

• The DEI Calendar will keep professionals informed of key DEI themes and events throughout the year.
• Just in time for goal-setting, the DEI Knowledge Builder Program is a new, optional learning series with courses that will help build understanding, empathy and a culture of inclusion at BV.

The 2023 DEI Calendar gives employee-owners a convenient snapshot of themes and events the company will celebrate throughout 2023, while the DEI Knowledge Builder Program offers DEI courses tied to the themes and events being celebrated each month. Developed in partnership with B&V’s Employee Resource Groups, DEI Knowledge Builder courses range from five minutes to one hour in duration, with most taking less than 15 minutes to complete.

This new program is an opportunity to learn, practice allyship and lean into the sometimes-difficult conversations around DEI. If professionals complete all 12 courses, they’ll also receive a 2023 DEI Knowledge Builder badge that they can display on their profile, recognizing their commitment to DEI and continuous learning. 

Progress: While our work is never done, we are committed to progress.
