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. Employers typically expect SMSTS, a CSCS manager-grade card and first aid as the baseline. Residential and main-contractor No.1 roles pay above assistant/No.2 positions, and packages commonly add a car or allowance plus travel. Framework and major-project experience travels well between employers.
