Black & Veatch Internship Experience, Deadline: January 12, 2012

Black & Veatch’s Leadership is offering an internship experience!

Our Leadership Intern Experience is designed to be a 2 summer commitment; the first summer is located at our Corporate Headquarters in Kansas City, the second summer most interns could be placed in one of our regional US offices or in one of our international office locations. Although this experience is designed to be a 2 summer program we do not require or guarantee interns an opportunity for the second summer. The rotational aspect of our program is also a great opportunity for our interns to learn about the global perspective of our business.

Our interns are given an opportunity to gain real world engineering knowledge as well as gain leadership and business skills. Our interns interact with B&V executives and professional engineers, many of which are experts in their fields.

In addition to the traditional internship experience the three main learning experiences offered to interns are listed below:

• Leadership Curriculum - Interns will participate in educational sessions that will foster the development of a holistic leadership approach designed to develop both interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. These sessions could include:

·         Understanding social styles and business culture

·         Leadership discovery

·         Developing a sense of self-knowledge and awareness

• Business Acumen - Participants will also learn about industries and markets served by and specifically discuss Black & Veatch’s role in each. They will learn how to shape service offerings based on clients’ needs, actively seek to solve the ‘broader problems’ clients face, anticipate the needs of clients and help create sustainable solutions. Additionally, interns will learn about the business of engineering consulting, including financial acumen and the organization and delivery of project work.
• Strategic Project - Throughout the program, interns will be given the chance to demonstrate their acquired skills and knowledge by offering business recommendations to senior management on an assigned business scenario. With no predefined solutions in mind, interns will need to research, interview and consult their way through their own problem-solving processes.
