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.

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.
