“The fact that Black & Veatch was willing to mentor and provide opportunities for growth was a factor in my decision to work here. Their dedication to fashioning the next set of leaders shows they care about not only the work they do but the people doing it. Being able to transition from the field to be a part of the design process has given me more perspective and respect for the craft."
