Water & Wastewater Recruiter
Boise, ID
Boise's newly rebuilt Lander Street Water Renewal Facility has become a testbed for indirect potable reuse concepts as the fast-growing Treasure Valley looks for new supply options beyond the Boise River.
Specialized staffing for Boise water infrastructure
Metro Associates is a leading water and wastewater engineering recruiter providing specialized staffing solutions across Boise and the Intermountain West. We help firms and utilities hire licensed Professional Engineers (PE), process engineers, and construction inspection specialists across treatment, distribution, and collection-system disciplines, for projects reviewed under City of Boise Public Works and beyond.
Locally, that has included work like lander street water renewal facility upgrades. We match vetted talent to the regulatory, operational, and performance demands of that kind of water infrastructure program.
2026 Boisewater & wastewater hiring
Heading into 2026, Boise'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 Boise-specific figure we have not measured. See the national water & wastewater compensation ranges, or ask us what we are seeing in Boise right now.
