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. For electricians, employers expect 18th Edition (BS 7671), an NVQ Level 3 and typically an ECS/JIB card; testing and inspection (2391) lifts pay further. For electrical engineers, HV authorisation, control-panel and power-distribution design experience command premiums. London and major-infrastructure projects sit at the top of the range.
