hello everyone GREG here and welcome to SITENG! today i will have a look at the civil engineers
salary in uk in 2022. i will show you how much money you can make when you're gonna
start as a junior engineer assistant engineer and then you're gonna progress
to setting out and then site engineering role i will also cover quickly these roles so you
want to know which one is the right one for you at this point so let's go
so let's start from junior engineer and assistant engineer position this is also sometimes called
the chairman chain person position and that'll be the very first start when you're gonna be starting
your career as a civil engineer working on site the money in this position would be between 140
to 160 a day and we're talking about the day here 10 working hours so that would be 14 to 16
per hour what i want to tell about this position guys don't stress too much guys as you are there
to learn and no one is expecting from you too much and the quicker you're going to learn the better
for you as this going to get you sooner to do to your dream job and guys in this position sometimes
you're actually going to be working as a cube man doing the cubes not really interesting job but
you need to start from something but sometimes you're actually going to start doing a setting
out so you're going to be doing the setting out the engineer job and you're still going to pay as
the assistant and in this case guys that'll be the time to quickly make a move to just jump into the
setting out position i'm gonna jump now to show you what's on the market now for these positions
so guys i have a junior engineer position here doesn't say how much money they pay here but
you see the position say here junior engineer or chain person that's what you're going to
find here and this is as i said between 14 and 16 pounds and our previous experience in groundworks
uh sector beneficial of course but let's be honest once you've got some experience you're
obviously going to go straight for the setting of the engineer position so don't really bother
about what they ask in here for as this position is actually for someone who's just starting now
and what's important here guys while we're here you see this experience says nothing
here about degree or something like that so this is just for everyone really who wants to start as
an engineer and then progress your career and i got second one here which is uh also about
uh graduate engineer here graduate structural engineer this is different we obviously on this
channel talking about the site what i want to tell you guys once once you got your degree really and
once you spend loads of time learning and digital degrees you see the master degree in one master's
degree must be educated to a-level standards once you once you got your education you spent loads
of time for it it might be actually good for you to go and try do some structural engineering job
guys as this is actually not available for everyone for these roles you need to have a
degree so once you got the degree it may be good for you to start for the structure or engineer
job and then actually you can always uh jump on site if you want to see real life engineering
in construction site now guys i'm gonna jump to the setting out engineer position and in this
case you're gonna be mostly levelling the side you're gonna be working marking the lines and
making sure everything is right on side and this position gonna pay you between 220 to 260 pounds
a day guys so that would be 22 to 26 per hour you have to know how to use the lasers the EDM and all
engineering equipment and you're going to be also expecting the engineering the construction
drawings and how to get the information from them and then working on site remember also
that in this position guys you're going to be expected to be most time on site so they they
really expect you to be 90% of your time on site and just quickly get the information and be there
on site with lots and making sure everything is happening as planned i'm going to jump now to
show you quickly what's on the market for this position so that's the one here guys i found it
setting out the engineer and madigan gill i think this agency as well they got between 60 and 70k
per annum plus package so that's quite really good money guys uh it's not the day here it's a pay aye
but that's only another thing you know this is a IR35 so the rules little bit change for us
guys especially if you work as a self-employed and the limited company it's a little bit more
difficult now and they soon probably are going to be most of positions going to be PAYE so that's
what you can have a look i'm going to leave the links for this you can look for it yourself so
i'm not going to be going through it but that's what they expect report direct to senior engineers
so they're going to be senior engineer on most sites working so if you've got more questions if
if the drawings are too much complicated obviously you don't have a time to go through it you you
need to be on site doing set now that then send your engineer going to be your support so accurate
the record keeping all the stuff degrees selling all experience experience with the main contractor
in this case so i got the other one actually where we're gonna see where we're going to see the day
right here so 210 to 260 uh that actually makes sense yeah that's what that's what happening here
i'm on the lookout for the freelance engineer for the project for nine months uh that's gonna
be they say we'll be able to provide the kid obviously they have to provide the kid come
on guys this money is not for the for someone with the kid you're gonna be looking mostly to this 250
to 60 a day unless you're starting guys and they know if they pay this money they cannot expect
really someone experience so now is the time for site engineer guys and in this case i would say
the money going to be between 240 to 280 pounds a day so we're going to be 24 28 per hour and as a
site engineer you're going to be more responsible for stuff like QA this is sometimes called QA
engineer as well contact with client taking the information you're going to be in most cases in
this role you're gonna be probably responsible as well for the temporary work supervising and guys
just to let you know in this position you're also gonna be required to know all setting out the
engineering stuff and be able to do setting out as well and you need to remember that there is
no clear line between the setting now the engineer and the site engineer really but let's have a look
what's on the market now so guys i got here a site engineer uh let's have a look at the new
responsible for setting up so that's actually it's a side engine but as i said you're gonna be doing
setting up working with the chippies and fixers uh that's yeah obviously and then uh comprises
a little bit about the projects that'll be 220 to 240 shift and i got the other one here uh
say site engineer 35 to 55 000 a year so they're going to pay a ye position and then work as the
main engineer on site travel to site and around the London so they're going to probably few sides
so as you can see this is setting out here as well but in this case you got carry out qa resolve
stacks and all the stuff so they're going to be more stuff included in your position here and this
one is actually probably covering few jobs so uh i wouldn't really recommend the job like this unless
you like it really so i think guys that's quite fair to tell you that that gonna be money you can
easily find now on the market it's a little bit more than the last year but i think it still
should go a little bit up to get that inflation we got all around ourselves what i can also tell
you guys the cr engineer position gonna be between 300 and 350 a day i wouldn't go for less than that
and i'm going to do a maybe separate video if you want to know a little bit more about just leave
the comment if you want to hear a little bit about the roles and responsibilities of senior
engineers section engineers and i can do a video and guys one of the more important thing here
you need to remember that all this stuff depends really on the size of the project or the size of
the team and sometimes you might be working you're all going to be setting out the engineer but
in real life you're going to be actually dealing with all the stuff taking all the information
drawings contact with client and that might be as well for the site engineer when you would expect
you're going to be actually dealing maybe more in the office you're going to be solving some
problems working with a client but then you might be actually sent on site doing only setting out so
as i said there is no clear line and this is all dependent on the job size the bigger the job your
range of responsibility is going to be actually narrow and then the smaller the job you're going
to be doing the more various stuff you're going to be dealing with the qa you're going to be dealing
with that with the rfis taking information you're going to be doing setting out as well
and you might be doing all other stuff taking the quantities ordering which might be actually
more interesting but you're gonna be more under pressure to dealing with all this stuff separately
but that's definitely gonna make you more ready for some senior job so guys i think that would
be all in terms of salary and payment for the engineers in the market right now in 2022 in uk
the job market is still good for us there's plenty jobs running there's plenty jobs starting so this
year gonna be probably as crazy as the last one and then probably we're gonna see some slow down
but that's definitely the time guys to start to start your career and going up and up so i hope
