WEFTEC19Saturday, September 21 - Wednesday, September 25

It is our responsibility to improve the world by contributing to exciting projects, developing future leaders and engaging our communities, while providing career growth opportunities in water for new and tenured employees alike.

We do know work is also about what you do and how you do it. In addition to engineers and architects, our teams include archaeologists, economists, builders, analysts, IT specialists, artists and scientists. Collectively, we design solutions for the world’s greatest challenges in water.

As industry stewards, we must volunteer our time in many ways to encourage the workforce of tomorrow. At HDR, we are active volunteers and community builders everywhere we live and work, connecting our people with their passion. We love what we do, knowing our projects will affect all generations, pushing boundaries to do things better, stretch further and improve lives.
