# What Are Typical Salaries for Wastewater Construction Project Managers, Estimators, and Engineers in 2026?

Wastewater construction pays well above many other infrastructure sectors because the work demands specialized compliance knowledge, technical depth, and experience with complex municipal contracts. For project managers, estimators, and project engineers, pay moves based on project size and complexity, years of experience, sector specialization within wastewater, relevant licenses or certifications, and willingness to travel. Senior roles on large treatment plant expansions or regional programs command significantly higher compensation than entry or mid-level positions. Amundson Group places project managers, estimators, and project engineers into wastewater roles nationwide, drawing on a network of 90,000+ construction professionals and 1,200+ placements to date.
