We believe building engineering is more than systems and structures, it’s about powering progress and enabling innovation. As part of HDR’s Building Engineering Services Group, you’ll help design the critical infrastructure that supports the digital age and shapes the spaces where people work, connect, and thrive. From high-performance data centers driving the future of AI to dynamic commercial environments, your work will directly support technological advancement, sustainability, and human experience.

We bring together mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil engineering experts to solve complex design challenges with precision, creativity, and collaboration. Whether you're optimizing energy efficiency, integrating resilient systems, or engineering the backbone of next‑generation facilities, your contributions will help define the future of the built environment. This isn't just a job, it’s a chance to lead innovation, engineer impact, and build a legacy of excellence.

This role shapes how our data is defined, used, and reused across our Building Engineering Services Business Group (BES BG) and HDR.

We’re looking for a BES Business Group Data Steward to help bring clarity and consistency to how data is defined, shared, and used across all BES disciplines and their embodied service lines within BES for HDR. This is a leadership role, not an IT or compliance position, and it plays a key part in enabling better business decisions, data reuse, and project delivery excellence.

This role is not expected to be the subject matter expert across all BES disciplines. Instead, the BES Data Steward defines how data practices are established, aligned, and sustained across the BES Business Group by coordinating and enabling subject matter experts and technical authorities within each domain. This role is ideal for technical leaders who are able to shape “how work gets done” and extend that influence on how data supports our business.

This role exists to empower our teams to define data once, understand it the same way, and reuse it confidently across projects, teams, and time.

Across the company, we all rely on data to plan work, deliver projects, answer questions, and make decisions. But when data is defined differently from team to team, project to project, or region to region, it becomes harder to trust, harder to reuse, and harder to scale. People spend time reconciling definitions, rebuilding datasets, or explaining what something really means instead of using the data to drive decisions that move work forward.

Data Stewardship helps fix this at the source.

By clearly defining how our data aligns to proper business terminology, and by creating a shared understanding of data for our delivery teams, this role will support turning our data into solutions that our Building Engineering Services practice and employees can confidently use, reuse, and build upon. It reduces confusion, prevents rework, and makes it easier for teams to answer questions to deliver their work without needing to start from scratch every time.

For project teams, this will result in less time cleaning up data and more time delivering. For technical staff, it means clearer expectations and fewer one‑off requests. For leaders, it means faster, more consistent answers and greater confidence in the insights they rely on. For HDR, it means enterprise and project data that is ready to support analytics, automation, and AI in a way that reflects how we work.

This role is about making data simpler,…
