(HHPR) is a firm of engineers, planners, landscape architects, and surveyors who provide comprehensive, integrated services for transportation facilities; site development; utility infrastructure; water resources; stormwater facilities; parks; residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial site development. 

With a growing staff of over 115, we serve clients across Oregon and southwestern Washington from our offices in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, and Vancouver.

Our culture is one of dedicated individuals who take our clients’ needs seriously while having fun. We support our teammates’ aspirations and provide the opportunity to achieve professional and personal goals. We are respectful of individuals’ personal lives and strive for an efficient and effective work-life balance. It is because of this our employees have distinguished us with both national and regional awards for one of the Best Firms to Work For.

• Registered Professional Engineer in Oregon; licenses in other states a plus.

• Solid understanding of civil design and construction standards.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D.
• Proficient ability to communicate both verbally and written.
• Team player with the ability to work independently.
