How this figure was built. Based on 65 live advertised salaries for this role and region, 5 of which were the source's own estimate rather than an advertised figure.

Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them — they are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Chartership with the ICE (CEng or IEng) is the defining salary lever, and frameworks in water (AMP cycles), rail and highways provide the most stable demand. Design-side pay in consultancies and delivery-side pay in contractors converge at senior level, but contractors typically pay more earlier.
