Strategic Compensation & HR Solutions for Public Works & Utility Companies

Tight Budgets & Recruiting Needs Highlight Value of Compensation Consulting in the Public Works & Utility Sector

Public works and utility companies are subject to various influences – government oversight, regulations, municipal demands, fixed pricing, and customer needs.  

Compensation must be managed under tight budgets, but the need to attract and retain qualified talent remains a key component for success.

Public works and utilities are comprised of the following industries:

  • Natural gas distribution
  • Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution 
  • Water and sewage systems

Each one requires effective compensation and human resources plans for success and stability.

Public Works & Utilities Key Trends & Insights

According to data from VerticalIQ, the public works and utilities industries are projected to grow at a variety of rates, depending on their specific function (natural gas, water, etc.). Strong demand for energy and water, driven by artificial intelligence and manufacturing, can drive prices up in the future. However, investment in renewable energy has seen disruption from changes in federal policies.

Employment in the public works and utilities industries has grown significantly over the past few years. Demand for labor, especially for skilled workers, is high as the industry attempts to scale up production to meet new demand (per the Bureau of Labor Statistics).
