Water & Wastewater Recruiter
Orlando, FL
Central Florida's stressed Floridan Aquifer has pushed Orlando toward one of the most extensive reclaimed-water irrigation networks in the country, alongside new alternative water supply projects to meet theme-park-district demand growth.
Specialized staffing for Orlando water infrastructure
Metro Associates is a leading water and wastewater engineering recruiter providing specialized staffing solutions across Orlando and Central Florida. 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 Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) and beyond.
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 Orlandowater & wastewater hiring
Heading into 2026, Orlando'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 Orlando-specific figure we have not measured. See the national water & wastewater compensation ranges, or ask us what we are seeing in Orlando right now.
