The Opportunity

Black & Veatch has an exciting opportunity for a Water Resources position focused on stormwater planning and design, asset management, water quality and integrated planning. This position will drive the growth and development of our water resources practice. The position’s primary focus will be Minnesota, but will also include opportunities to grow the practice in the upper midwest, surrounding region, and across the United States asappropriate.

As an employee-owned, global leader in building critical infrastructure in the energy, water, and government services markets, Black & Veatch has a long-standing reputation for providing world-class service to our clients.

We are looking to hire a Regional Planning Leader in the upper Midwest (Bloomington, MN, or one of our Ohio offices) as well a Leader in Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK.

The Team

Within our U.S. planning and water resources business, we have seen consistent growth driven by our clients’ needs to address challenges stemming from stormwater regulations, flooding, water quality impairments driven by wet weather runoff, asset management, and efforts to increase the use of green infrastructure. We anticipate an increased focus on integrated stormwater planning and holistic watershed management as State and Federal agencies emphasize controlling stormwater, non-point source pollution, and TMDL enforcement. This represents a strategic business initiative for Black & Veatch, and the Water Resources position focused on stormwater, watersheds, and integrated planning is designed to help the company grow its market share by providing world-class planning and water resource services.
