Civil engineer here. Bachelors plus 5 years experience. Your pay is lower than standard for this area. I got my degree in TX. First job in a state with a lower cost of living. The pay was higher. Higher = higher quality workers/higher quality work AND less corruption.

My company works on some city subcontracts. BUT I push for private work and work outside the city because most your workers and vendors are shady. Costs come in too high. Materials substandard. Timeliness padded.

You need to review financial priorities. This is crazy. No decent engineer is going to take 80-90k starting for supervising work. You'll wind up with somebody's nephew/cousin/boyfriend who doesn't know the work.
