Your Partner in Water Treatment Talent
From modernizing aging water systems to advancing treatment technologies, today’s water and wastewater infrastructure demands specialized expertise.
LVI Associates partners with organizations and professionals across the civil and environmental engineering landscape to deliver tailored recruitment solutions that support sustainable, community-focused outcomes.
Securing tomorrow's talent
Whether you’re expanding a treatment facility, rolling out smart metering, or planning your next career move, our dedicated water and wastewater team helps you navigate the complexities of modern infrastructure. We support the full project lifecycle, working with municipal utilities, design-build firms, consultancies, and public agencies nationwide.
Covering both “inside the fence” roles such as treatment process design, SCADA integration, and biosolids management, and “outside the fence” expertise in pipeline conveyance, lift stations, distribution systems, and stormwater infrastructure, we connect organizations with the engineers, project managers, operators, and compliance leaders needed to meet evolving technical, regulatory, and environmental demands.
As a strategic talent partner we offer more than recruitment, providing salary benchmarking, workforce insights, and market intelligence. Active with the Water Environment Federation (WEFTEC), American Water Works Association (AWWA), and StormCon, our ultimate goal is to support the industry in building resilient, future-ready water systems.
