Albany, NY – December 3, 2024 – Governor Kathy Hochul today announced pay increases for engineers and related licensed positions across New York State government. The increases are intended to recruit and retain employees in these critical roles.
“Our state’s infrastructure and economy rely on the expertise of our engineers and related licensed professionals,” Governor Hochul said. “These pay increases will help us attract and retain the best and brightest talent to ensure that we have the workforce we need to build and maintain our infrastructure, protect our environment, and drive economic growth.”
The pay increases will apply to engineers, architects, land surveyors, landscape architects, and other licensed professionals in various state agencies, including the Department of Transportation, the Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Office of General Services.
