Pay for a water and wastewater superintendent in the Carolinas moves based on years of field experience, project size and complexity, familiarity with large-diameter pipe and trenchless methods, relevant certifications, and willingness to travel or relocate for a project. Candidates who can run larger, more complex wastewater programs consistently draw stronger offers. Benefits such as a company vehicle, per diem, health coverage, and a 401(k) match are common in this specialty, but the total package varies by employer and project type.
