30-year veteran brings focus on clean energy, advanced manufacturing and innovation to sustainable critical infrastructure leader

Global critical infrastructure leader Black & Veatch has recruited 30-year technology, infrastructure and government veteran James (Jim) Moos to lead the company’s newly created Technology, Commercial and Industrial (TCI) Sector.

In this role, Moos will be responsible for guiding the growth, design and market strategy for Black & Veatch’s support of clients including advanced manufacturing, cloud computing, clean transportation and agricultural/biotech, which all rely heavily on the availability of new sources of cleaner resilient power and water, among other solutions the company offers.

“Jim brings a global perspective in commercialization of new technologies and a depth of expertise in secure energy delivery and digitalization solutions, all critical issues for our Technology, Commercial and Industrial clients,” Black & Veatch Chairman and CEO Mario Azar said.

Moos joins the company from Leidos, Inc., where he served in various senior executive level roles, most recently as group president of the company’s Civil Group. Prior to that, he worked as chief operating officer of the Civil Group and held other roles leading the company’s environment and infrastructure team. While at Leidos, Moos was instrumental in leading the acquisition and integration of multiple large organizations that significantly expanded the company’s global presence. He and his team also elevated the company in Engineering News-Record’s Top 25 rankings in the Design, Environmental and Distribution Engineering categories.

“Black & Veatch is at a critical inflection point in the company’s more than 100-year history and I’m excited to be joining the company as we align with the evolving goals of our clients,” said Moos, President of Technology, Commercial and Industrial Sector said. “Black & Veatch has a clear purpose and values that resonate with me, and I’m ready to help the company achieve those goals globally.”

Prior to his time at Leidos, Moos held positions with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and spent more than six years in the U.S. Navy as part of the U.S. Navy Nuclear Power Program.

Moos earned a Master of Science in Industrial Hygiene from the University of Central Missouri, Warrensburg, Missouri, and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Science & Technology, Radiation Protection from Thomas Edison State University, Trenton, New Jersey. He also completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School.
