# What Are Wastewater Construction Recruiters Looking For, and What’s the Market Paying Right Now?

Wastewater construction is one of the most active niches in civil recruiting right now, driven by EPA regulatory deadlines and federal infrastructure funding that are creating real labor shortages. Contractors are competing hard for experienced project managers, superintendents, and project engineers with treatment plant backgrounds. What separates competitive candidates is technical depth in treatment processes, regulatory compliance experience, and a proven ability to work with complex municipal stakeholders. If you have managed wastewater treatment plant construction, biosolids handling, or collection systems, you are in high demand. Amundson Group recruits wastewater construction professionals nationally, with deep experience placing these roles across Texas, Florida, the Carolinas, and beyond.
