At your best
We believe creating and sustaining a more diverse inclusive and equitable work environment begins with a pledge to view and treat each other as equal. Equal in our responsibility to uphold our core values. Equal in our dedication to the industries and communities in which we operate. Equal in our determination to make a difference.
To see racial and ethnic diversity is to understand that each of us has a story to tell.
To see a woman is to respect her strength, and the strength of her commitments — to her family, community and career.
To see our LGBTQ community is to acknowledge their authentic selves.
To see our disabled professionals is to rethink our own assumptions of what can and can’t be done.
It can be hard to jump into a large company full of so many different people. To help ease the transition and provide a positive work environment during your tenure, Black & Veatch offers several employee resource groups (ERGs). They assemble people with similar backgrounds and stories to promote cultural awareness and engagement, provide mentoring and social opportunities, and help you find the best way you can contribute to our strategy and mission. And they have a lot of fun.
The purpose of WAVE is to support, encourage, inspire and empower women at Black & Veatch.
The purpose of the Christian Friends Network (CFN) employee resource group is to foster those who have or seek faith in Jesus Christ.
The purpose of MERGE is to support our military professionals, veterans, and their families.

The purpose of BienVenidos is to foster and promote leadership opportunities for our members through networking.
Diversity in talent
"Black & Veatch has done an admirable job with nourishing and encouraging a diverse, inclusive and equitable organization. The most noticeable area of DEI that I have observed is demographic and educational level diversity. Black & Veatch is on a great path of creating a truly diverse company and allows someone like me, a disabled veteran of Mexican decent, who has received education in an unconventional way, the opportunity to be a part of something great and pay it forward to future generations of Black & Veatch professionals."
John Chacon, Black & Veatch process optimization and alignment leader
