Civil Engineering Recruiter
Austin, TX
In fast-growing Central Texas, we help firms scale civil and transportation teams for the highway, transit, and water programs keeping pace with the Austin metro's expansion.
Specialized staffing for Austin infrastructure
Metro Associates is a leading civil engineering recruiter providing specialized staffing solutions across Austin and Central Texas. We help firms hire licensed Professional Engineers (PE), project managers, and technical specialists who support TxDOT, federal agencies, and private development throughout the region.
Locally, that has meant staffing everything from txdot i-35 capital express highway program to smaller municipal and resiliency work. We match vetted talent to what each program actually demands.
2026 Austin civil engineering hiring
In 2026, the Central Texas market is defined by long-term federal infrastructure funding and a sharp focus on climate resiliency. Remote collaboration has widened the talent pool, but demand for on-site licensed PEs and project leads across TxDOT programs remains at an all-time high.
Pay for these roles moves with local cost of labor and project mix, so we publish ranges nationally rather than implying a Austin-specific figure we have not measured. See the national civil engineering compensation ranges, or ask us what we are seeing in Austin right now.
