HDR's Gretchen Dolson Discusses Women in STEM, Career in Energy

Gretchen Dolson has been HDR's leader in the non-hydropower renewable energy space for almost a decade and has developed it into a recognized and respected program, with deep experience in solar, offshore wind, battery storage and more.

In the Dolson Q&A with Florida's Women in Energy Leadership Forum, she discusses what drew her to the power space, women in engineering roles and advice for up-and-coming college students. That includes perspective on the ever-changing power industry and the importance of building a solid technical foundation.

"Be open to the unexpected," Dolson said in the article. "Opportunities that are career-defining often look different than you expect. This is particularly true in renewables and other emerging growth industries."
