About HDR

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

We create an unshakable foundation for progress because our multidisciplinary teams also include scientists, economists, builders, analysts and artists, reinforcing that diversity is our greatest strength.

We believe electricity powers modern life. As part of our Power sector, you’ll help shape how electricity is generated, transmitted and delivered as global energy demands grow. From massive data centers to modernizing transmission systems, our industry‑recognized engineers and scientists have been at the forefront of grid transformation for more than a century. You’ll work side‑by‑side with these experts and contribute to reliable, resilient and sustainable power systems, helping communities thrive and industries expand.

HDR Engineering is currently seeking multiple Power Delivery Team Leads to join our growing and nationally ranked team of Power Delivery professionals in Texas.
