Water & Wastewater Recruiter
Albuquerque, NM
Since shifting its primary supply from a depleting aquifer to the San Juan-Chama surface-water project, ABCWUA has focused capital spending on drought resilience and aquifer-recharge infrastructure across the Rio Grande basin.
Specialized staffing for Albuquerque water infrastructure
We're a specialized water and wastewater engineering recruiter for Albuquerque and the Southwest, placing licensed Professional Engineers (PE), process engineers, and inspection specialists across treatment, distribution, and collection-system work.
Whether it's a treatment plant upgrade, collection-system rehab, or stormwater compliance work, we match vetted talent to what each program actually demands, regulatory, operational, and technical.
2026 Albuquerquewater & wastewater hiring
Heading into 2026, Albuquerque's market is shaped by aging-infrastructure replacement, PFAS and emerging-contaminant compliance, and federally funded resiliency work. Licensed process engineers and inspection specialists who can deliver permit-compliant, resilient systems remain in short supply.
Pay for these roles moves with local cost of labor and project mix, so we publish ranges nationally rather than implying a Albuquerque-specific figure we have not measured. See the national water & wastewater compensation ranges, or ask us what we are seeing in Albuquerque right now.
