Difference between "stability engineer" and "structural engineer&
(OP)
A very stupid question here, but I am a translator, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a difference between a "stability engineer" (who conducts "stability studies") and a "structural engineer"?

It would help to know the context of "stability". If it is referring to structures, then the term would mean structural engineer; however, it could also be one of those terms that doesn't really have anything to do with engineering...just tagging on to the term...like "domestic engineer".
Perhaps you could provide a bit more context for the term.

Thinking a bit outside of the box. If they do preliminary designs, would it be possible that they are referring to viability studies?

However, translating your Dutch terms, "stabiliteitsingenieurs" may mean something very similar, if not identical, with our English term "structural".
I would suggest checking with someone who is more familiar with the Dutch usage. Perhaps someone on this site might know as well.

I just noticed that on the company's own website, they refer to it as Structural Engineering.
"X is een toonaangevend ingenieursbureau met afdelingen in de speciale technieken, infrastructuur en stabiliteit."
=
"X is a leading engineering firm with departments in Building Services and Civil & Structural Engineering."

JAE...I gave a notice to Gunnar in The Pub to take a look, though apparently the mystery has been solved.
