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.
Indicatively £33,000–£58,000 permanent, with chartered senior engineers and London infrastructure programmes exceeding this.
Contractors generally pay more at graduate-to-mid level; consultancy catches up at chartered and principal grades.
ICE chartership, framework experience in water/rail/highways, and site-based delivery responsibility.
