Greatness Relies on your Collaborators

Metro Associates is a nationally recognized, DOT-focused staffing and executive search firm supporting state Departments of Transportation, municipal public works agencies, engineering consultancies, and federally funded infrastructure programs across the United States. With more than four decades of combined experience, our leadership and recruiting teams deliver specialized transportation professionals who understand the operational, regulatory, and performance demands of publicly funded capital improvement projects.

We place transportation engineers, bridge and structural designers, roadway and traffic engineers, CEI inspectors, resident engineers, construction managers, project controls specialists, environmental coordinators, and executive-level program leaders. Every professional we represent is vetted for technical competency and experience with DOT specifications, FHWA standards, AASHTO guidelines, QA/QC protocols, and safety compliance requirements. Our candidates understand the accountability, documentation standards, and stakeholder coordination required in public infrastructure programs.

What sets Metro Associates apart is the practical expertise within our team. Our recruiters include former engineers and military-trained talent acquisition specialists who bring firsthand knowledge of infrastructure operations, regulatory environments, and performance-driven project delivery systems. We understand the pace of transportation programs—from design-bid-build and design-build delivery methods to emergency response projects and long-term asset management initiatives—allowing us to align agencies with professionals who integrate quickly and contribute immediately.

We support initiatives ranging from bridge inspections and load ratings to highway expansions, roadway rehabilitations, transit corridors, and multi-agency capital programs. Our placements strengthen oversight, enhance quality assurance, reinforce safety compliance, and help agencies stay on schedule while managing budgets responsibly.

Metro Associates is committed to diversity, inclusion, and workforce resilience. We actively recruit professionals from varied backgrounds, including veterans with engineering and leadership experience, helping agencies build teams that reflect the communities they serve. We operate with integrity and accountability—strengthening America’s transportation infrastructure by connecting agencies with high-performing professionals who uphold safety and excellence at every phase of delivery.
