    About Us
    At HDR, we specialize in engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services.

    While we are most well-known for adding beauty and structure to communities through high-performance buildings and smart infrastructure, we provide much more than that.

    We create an unshakable foundation for progress because our multidisciplinary teams also include scientists, economists, builders, analysts and artists. That's why we believe diversity is our greatest strength. HDR is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and an affirmative action employer.

    • Planning and designing details including engineering concepts, distribution plans, riser diagrams, detail drawings, schedules, specifications, design analysis, engineering reports
    • Occasional on-site project observations and reviews to fulfill contractual obligations for construction phase services, and overseeing other personnel assigned to this responsibility
    • Managing day-to-day contacts with internal and external clients while utilizing experience and technology to meet expectations
