The Black & Veatch Difference

Our culture is created and cultivated by us. Wherever we work, whatever our role, we hold ourselves accountable to high standards, where our integrity and commitment to each other shine through. It's a big part of who we are and what makes Black & Veatch exceptional.

We work like we own the place, because we do. With no external investors, our employee-owners are the only ones that benefit from the value they help create. The ESOP approach incentivizes them, typically giving them an initial stake in the company in their first year of employment and growing their ownership value over time, with the potential of building long-term wealth.

Core commitments

Our values

For more than 110 years, Black & Veatch has been guided by values that shape how we work and how we deliver for our clients and communities. Safety is at the heart of everything we do and our values, Care, Create and Own, reflect who we are at our best and anchor us for the future.

Safety first

Safety is paramount to everything we do. We’re committed to work environments where safety and health are pre-planned into every task, one day at a time, with a mindset that every injury is preventable. Our goal is zero injuries, and we provide clients and our professionals with the time, equipment and training necessary to achieve it.

We believe healthy workers are happier, more productive workers. That’s why we offer a wellness program that propels our professionals and their families to healthier living, reducing their health care costs along the way.
