What Is the Job Market Like for Wastewater and Water Treatment Construction Roles Right Now?

The wastewater construction labor market is one of the tightest segments we see across our recruiting desks right now. Municipal utilities and civil infrastructure owners are actively hiring project managers, superintendents, project engineers, and estimators, but qualified candidates with wastewater and treatment plant experience are in short supply. What drives pay in this sector is project size and complexity, years of hands-on wastewater experience, familiarity with compliance and regulatory requirements, and whether the role involves travel or remote project sites. Candidates who combine construction execution skills with utilities or regulatory background are in a strong position. Amundson Group recruits wastewater construction professionals nationwide, drawing on a network of 90,000+ construction professionals and 1,200+ placements to date.
