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.

Watch Our Story:

We believe that the way we work can add meaning and value to the world. That ideas inspire positive change. That coloring outside the lines can illuminate fresh perspectives. And that small details yield important realizations. Above all, we believe that collaboration is the best way forward.
About You
Our Solid Waste Practice is seeking a Planner with the ability to support a wide variety of waste diversion, resource management and visioning projects. You will be knowledgeable of, and or have experience with, recycling programs, source separated organics programs, and sustainability initiatives. Additionally, this candidate should show interest in other new and innovative diversion programs with an emphasis on sustainable materials management, along with collections and disposal practices. Your understanding of potential changes and emerging trends in the industry will set you apart from other candidates. You are confident working in a team environment, as well as independently, developing strong relationships and speaking to groups of people.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will be involved in the development of long-range waste management strategic plans for municipalities including researching, identifying, assessing and evaluating alternate diversion and disposal technologies and programs. Additional opportunities will be available to support planning and approvals processes for a range of waste management facilities. You will also be expected to assist in preparing project reports, memorandums, and presentations by knowing the receiving audience perspective. You will help to foster client relationships through marketing and preparation of proposals for new projects. Incorporating strategic communications and engagement with multiple stakeholders will be an important part of the job and your projects.
You should expect to be leading and coordinating projects across the United States, collaborating with staff in our various offices or with strategic partners.
