About Elizabeth Knox

I am a civil engineer at Black & Veatch with experience in water and wastewater infrastructure. A subset of my engineering experience includes the planning and design for conveyance facilities, treatment plants, dams and hydropower, in addition to asset management and construction services.I am extremely passionate about innovating for a sustainable future. My experiences with local- to national-level jurisdictions, in concert with my collaborative background have provided me the tools to understand the nuanced nature of engineering for sustainability. A selection of my experiences is highlighted below:• Pumped Hydroelectric Storage and Dams• Water Agency Master Planning• Water and Wastewater Pipelines• Lift and Pump Stations• Storm Water and Green Infrastructure• Wastewater Treatment (Preliminary, Secondary, Tertiary, Solids Handling)• Advanced Water Treatment (MF, RO)• Seawater Desalination• Asset Management and Condition Assessment• Hydraulic Modeling• Inflow and InfiltrationI graduated from San Diego State University magna cum laude in 2018 with a degree in environmental engineering and an honors minor in interdisciplinary studies.As I contend to learn more both within the water industry as well as the environmental and renewable infrastructure industry, I remind myself of the importance of the work we are doing. The ramifications of our choices extend far beyond individual projects. We have the opportunity to sustain and improve life amidst ever-changing realities, which is something I am grateful for and motivated to be working towards.
