Water at Beca

While water is the world’s most precious resource, at Beca, our people are our most precious resource. Together we are transforming our world. We are passionate about what we do and the culture we have developed.

The more diverse we are, the better our ideas, strategies and client solutions will be and the more we will represent our world. We know that we are stronger when people from different backgrounds and perspectives work together.

We are committed to growing an environment where our people have equal opportunity to build a career that reflects their ability & passions and believe in their potential, feel they belong and can be their best selves.

Beca is proudly employee-owned; after a century of operation, employee ownership remains key to Beca’s future. It underpins our positive, purpose-driven and growth-oriented culture;

it sets us apart from our competitors, and it gives meaning to our ‘social contract’. That is, we’re accountable, we have each other’s backs, we don’t let each other down, and we strive for excellence in everything we do.

We recognise that one of the challenges people can face in building their careers is managing work and home life. 

At Beca, we encourage our people to find an arrangement that works for them whether that involves part-time, work from home or flexible working arrangements. We are open to discussing options on how this could work for you for roles across our Water team.
