The average asking salary across the construction industry has risen 9% to £45,900.
That’s according to recruiter Randstad Construction, Property and Engineering, which analysed nearly 6,800 permanently placed construction jobs in the 12 months to 30 May 2018.
Salaries rose despite a drop in the number of vacancies advertised, according to Randstad. Pay in site management has risen 3%, with average asking salaries rising from £47,100 a year to £48,500. Assistant site managers’ asking salaries hit £37,600 per year with the highest-flying candidates being offered £48,500 a year in London, according to Randstad’s data. Meanwhile site managers have seen their pay rise 3% to £50,500, up from £48,800 the previous year. Average salaries are higher in London, currently sitting at £53,400. One senior site manager, a role now typically being paid £62,900 a year, secured a new job in Welwyn Garden City on a salary of £78,000, the recruitment firm claimed.
