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. The single biggest lever on a structural engineer's salary is chartership (or a clear, near-term path to it). Sector matters too — high-rise, nuclear and infrastructure typically pay a premium over general consultancy. London commands the highest base, but adjusted for cost of living the regional picture is more even than the headline numbers suggest.
