Why Black & Veatch?

At Black & Veatch, you’ll be part of work that matters—designing, creating, and building the infrastructure communities rely on every day, from concept through execution.

We care about how the work gets done as much as what we build. Safety is built into every decision, and people look out for each other—speaking up, collaborating, and doing the right thing because it affects real lives.

You’ll work alongside teams solving complex challenges and turning ideas into solutions that perform in the real world—gaining hands-on experience across projects, technologies, and disciplines.

Ownership shows up in how we work. We take responsibility for outcomes, follow through on commitments, and take pride in what we deliver. As a 100% employee-owned company, employees share in the long-term success we build together.

With flexible ways of working and meaningful development opportunities, you’ll build a career you can be proud to stand behind.

We are seeking an experienced Product Manager who will be responsible for the strategic ownership, evolution, and performance of Black & Veatch’s portfolio of custom‑built and hybrid engineering applications used internally by Engineering professionals across Black & Veatch.

Operating within the Black & Veatch Digital Product Operating Model (DPOM), the Product Manager ensures that application investments are intentionally selected, objectively prioritized, architecturally sound, and continuously measured to deliver enduring business value—not one‑off project outputs.

• Partner with engineering, architecture, cybersecurity, and business leaders to shape demand early, reducing low‑value or duplicative requests before they enter delivery
• Design and operate a quantitative prioritization model for the application portfolio that balances:
  • Business value and user impact
  • Risk reduction (security, reliability, compliance)
  • Technical debt and sustainability
  • Strategic alignment to enterprise and digital priorities
