Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Water-Wastewater Superintendents who run the field on treatment plants and conveyance — deep excavation and engineered shoring, live-plant tie-ins and bypass pumping, structural concrete tanks and channels, yard piping, and maintenance of traffic around facilities that never stop treating. Field history verified by reference.
A structured process for the field hire — where a bad tie-in becomes a bypass event, a failed shoring plan becomes an OSHA case, and a leaking tank becomes a warranty fight.
30-minute call. Align on scope — plant expansion, pump station, large-diameter conveyance — self-perform mix, shift structure, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Water-Wastewater Superintendents with named plants and pipelines behind them. References from PMs, owners, and inspectors included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn’t stick, we replace them — that’s true across every engagement model we offer.
Tying into a headworks that cannot stop receiving flow is its own discipline. We shortlist superintendents who have planned and run shutdown windows, bypass pumping, and sequenced tie-ins on operating plants — and we confirm those events with the people who were there.
Deep excavation with engineered shoring, dewatering in wet ground, structural concrete for tanks and channels, and large-diameter yard piping. As part of our water infrastructure recruiting practice, we vet for the self-perform skills water work actually demands.
Water sites sit inside neighborhoods and behind operating fences. We verify maintenance-of-traffic (MOT) execution, confined-space programs, and coordination with plant operations staff — the habits that keep a live facility safe while you build inside it.
Named shutdown and bypass events — flow rates, durations, contingency plans — confirmed with the PMs and operators who ran them.
Trench and excavation competent-person history, engineered shoring systems, and dewatering programs in wet, congested ground.
Tanks, clarifiers, digesters, and channels — placement sequencing, waterstop detailing, and leak testing to water-holding tolerances.
Large-diameter DIP, RCP, and HDPE, thrust restraint, crossings, and pressure testing — on plant sites and in public rights-of-way.
Self-perform crews plus mechanical, electrical, and controls subs held to one schedule — references confirm both the plan and the tone.
OSHA history, confined-space entry programs, trench safety, and MOT plans around active facilities and live traffic.
Shutdown windows don’t move for hiring timelines. Tell us the date — we’ll shortlist superintendents who have run that event before.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks. Narrow asks — say, digester rehabilitation experience with live-gas protocols — can add a week of targeted sourcing.
Direct-hire search is a 20% success fee with no upfront fee on single roles — you pay when the hire starts. For multi-hire programs, embedded recruiting and RPO price as a monthly volume-based fee plus a success fee — typically well below stacked contingency fees at volume. Leadership and executive searches route through executive search.
Most US markets run $115,000–$150,000 base. Superintendents who run live-plant tie-ins and large structural concrete scopes on major programs typically run $140,000–$175,000, with general superintendent roles above that.
A Construction Superintendent on vertical work drives trades through a weather-tight sequence. A Water-Wastewater Superintendent runs heavy-civil, self-perform-leaning work where the site is an operating utility: excavation support, structural concrete that must hold water, and tie-ins scheduled around flows that never stop. It’s a different set of first instincts.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, regardless of engagement model. If a placement doesn’t work out inside the guarantee window, we rerun the search and replace them at no additional placement fee.
Yes. Superintendents plus assistant superintendents, field engineers, safety leads, and QC route through embedded recruiting or RPO — one accountable recruiting team across the program.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll map your scope, tie-in calendar, self-perform mix, and shift structure — then start sourcing Water-Wastewater Superintendents with verified history in them.
