hi guys and welcome back to SITENG in today's video guys i'm going to tell you how much you
can earn as a civil engineer or as a site engineer here on site and i'm going to tell
you a little bit more about the duties and responsibilities of engineers and that going
to be obviously dependent if you're going to be doing the simple setting now the lines and levels
or you're going to be doing the more complicated stuff or maybe the ground works for which you need
a little bit more experience and i'm going to also tell you how much you can get as a civil engineer
working doing external works and all the stuff included so let's go
so guys before i'm gonna go have a look at the offers and we'll explain you why you shouldn't
be afraid of so many things they're asking for for the engineers as this has never really happened
it's impossible for one man to do as much stuff as they are sometimes required first thing i want to
tell you there is a big good money in construction and this year 2021 gonna be even better as i said
i see now as recruiters are fighting for the people and there's a plenty works because of
brexit and because of the disease guys uh there is not too many people now and it's really plenty
work all the wars have to be finished and the new projects starts so guys trust me this is the
best time to start even if you had no experience believe me sooner than later the the people going
to be asking for the people like you as the need for experienced people is too big and they have to
start using the fresh power the people who wants to learn will be alright definitely obviously when
they subscribe to my channel and watch my videos so guys i'm back in the office now i opened the
few jobs position here we're going to have a look and i'm going to tell you the salary obviously
i'm in office it means back in home in my private office here site office so the first page guys uh
is the cv library i think it's the most popular it's not the most popular site i
got a site engineer from 250 to 300 a day i got a site engineer 230 to 280 a day 270 to 30 a day
side engine north london is at the engineer 22 to 24 and zero engineers 290 to 310 pounds
a day i'm gonna jump quickly here i open few jobs uh so that's a site engineer 250 to 300 and
you see the requirements cscs card experience setting out groundworks degree qualified desirable
guys desirable that it doesn't mean that you need to be degree qualified must supply laptop with
autocad in this case and not always and minimum 5 experience and i want to tell you this now it's
not going to be five years experience you don't have to be afraid of this but obviously this job
is a site engineer and this is uh 278 works here quality assurance setting out large ground doors
package it doesn't mean nothing really it's just a setting out and experience doing landscaping and
all aspects of groundwork so this job and i can tell you this money is uh the range is okay i know
that for sure that's the wrench and it actually it will be and it should be a bit closer to 300
and but for this one you you need some experience you need more experience than just for a starter
but we're gonna have a look at the next one here senior engineers groundworks and rc so rc frame
here but as a senior engineer position as well project engineer 290 300 a day but guys that's the
money here in construction right now for engineers you see obviously you need the experience for this
type of money 290 300 guys that's really good money trust me guys after you're gonna get some
experience uh you're gonna be there and you don't really even need to five years experience for it
i'm gonna just jump here setting out engineers i got a few roles here as well 260 300 day site
engineer they're gonna be probably the similar setting out engineer so that's the thing
setting out the engineer maybe open this one and we're gonna have a look uh setting up on cbd's rc
frames curing serving duties able to understand technical drawings lasting with the designer
overseeing quality control monitoring relevant safety keeping side diary resolving technical
problems i keep management up to date so this is quite right guys uh you don't need to be worried
about keeping management up today all this sub that's probably small things so the duties are
actually quite okay it's it's not too much and look at the salary guys and for this one it's
i wouldn't say there's a big experience needed once you know how to do a setting out once you
are all right with it you can actually go for this job and obviously because you're not gonna have a
hundred years of experience you're gonna probably gonna be starting from this range here but this
is really good money guys as you can see and i can tell you that's the money here on the market
now i quickly show you guys why i think there's a there's a very good time now and and obviously
guys you know that april may that's what uh whether the project starts uh loads of happening
and i can tell you guys uh this year gonna be crazy i know myself how many recruiters
are contacting me offering the jobs how many jobs are on the market right now and i'm going
to quickly show you this uh here look at the jrl here they recruiting engineers and that was just
three days ago and look how many engineers they are looking for 10 engineers guys so there is a
struggle for engineers i can tell you this and especially for experienced ones that are going
to be more room now and more chance for for new engineers for for assistant engineers just to jump
to the to the engineer role and more opportunities for the junior engineers and in this case guys
i want to tell you a little bit about the duties and the responsibilities of engineers guys because
i can tell you this i know myself and i know this for sure if they ask him if the people in general
asking for a set it out engineer that means you gonna be doing mostly setting out and that means
you need to be you need to be comfortable with edm and obviously you need to know the drawings
as well so you're gonna take the information on the drawings but your job gonna be mainly marking
the lines and making sure the levels are all right guys and if you can see all my videos covering the
the setting out once you know what's happening there on my videos once you okay you can go for
these jobs easily guys and then qa engineer guys that requires maybe a bit more knowledge about the
drawings and that's probably they're going to ask maybe about some experience if you had before for
a qa engineer sleep form engineer obviously that would be good if you had some experience as well
and then site engineer that's the same story guys site engineer that's gonna be actually the same as
a setting out engineer they probably put maybe a little bit more responsibilities on you like
qa or checking the precast but uh it's nothing complicated you can learn this stuff as you go
really but your understanding of the edm and the basic drawings basic ga drawings to be able to
mark the lines and provide the information in terms of setting out and position of the
elements on site that's that guarantee your entry on site and once you're on site you're
gonna you're gonna learn quickly and as i said in my video how to find a job in construction guys i
would really recommend you one of the groundworks and frame contractors as this is actually what it
is once you know how to use the edm you're gonna start as a setting out you're gonna be busy but
you're gonna learn quickly and no one gonna be asking you if you got the degree of if you got
a five years ten years experience once you're on site and you're gonna prove yourself there
you're gonna be all right and the only way is up so guys i think i covered uh mostly
the salary for the engineers here in the uk in 2021 guys and i'm mostly talking about the day
right here but uh there's plenty opportunities you can go as a paye for the permanent position it is
going to be probably a little bit less between 30 40 to even 70k a year but this is all dependent
guys on on the company on your experience then really and i really recommend you once you're
starting guys i really recommend you to go for a day rate go for the for the groundworks frame
contractor and get your experience there guys this is the best way really and the the few things i
want to tell you as well here i want to tell you a few things guys so the first thing would be the
recruiter's requirements guys don't be afraid of it i seen someone even i remember when i was
starting my career when i saw some ads when i saw some position coming and when i go through them
i was just afraid i was thinking oh i cannot go for it because i don't have enough experience i
don't know how to do it guys forget about it don't think about it if you see too many things i think
sometimes it's just recruiters really trying to get you off the job even before you start
applying for it and that gonna give them obviously the the less cvs or the less applicants coming
so that would be the first thing and the second thing guys is i would say don't compare yourself
with other people with other engineers or even let's say to myself guys obviously i got the years
of experience on site and i did years of my school as well which wasn't easy and you will be there
definitely as well that's how it is guys once you starting don't be afraid as i said as this video
is about there's a good money to be taken guys the job is quite demanding of course it's typically 10
hours a day it's very stressful sometimes it's high space but it's really rewarding and it's
really satisfying once you finish some project you you really satisfied you know you did the
job you took a part in some projects and obviously the more experience you're going to have you can
start jumping on some more interesting projects so that's that's really satisfying and then rewarding
in terms of salary as well as i said again don't be afraid of taking the job try as much as
possible guys once you're going to prove yourself on site no i'm going to be asking you about the
experience you're going to be good to go and you're going to get more and more experience then
so don't think about it forget about people asking about the years of experience how they gonna get
so many people with the experience it's impossible it's stupid and i know and everyone knows that
so go for it and as i said in my video for looking for the job guys go from side to side with your cv
at hand people want to see you they're going to speak with you once they see you really want to
work there is energy in you they know you're going to learn fast and you're going to be really good
engineer so guys just to sum up from my knowledge for my personal experience and from my contacts
i would quickly tell you the the salaries for the engineers and the let's open here this you guys
remember i did a big series here about the setting out so that that's the basic information here once
you know this you're really good to go but guys i quickly tell you this once you're gonna be
starting as a assistant engineer junior engineer that's the role in between 14 to 17 pounds an hour
and obviously once you the very first start are going to be 14 and then you're gonna be
advancing within a few months guys it's few months i'm not talking about the years few
months once you're right you're going to ask for pay rise you're going to jump to 17 and there you
go only higher the setting out the engineer guys and setting out the engineer and side engineer
that's the money between i would say 22 pounds to 28 even and this is obviously once i said as a
junior engineer you're going to be something about 70 you're probably going to then jump to setting
out the engineer or site engineer around 22-23 and this is often good sometimes with a change
in the job as well because once you're gonna stay too long in one company they're not gonna you're
not gonna jump that high so that'll be the money for setting out engineer side engineer and senior
engineer project engineers guys this role starts from around 22 and they go even up to 35 pounds an
hour so this is very good money guys and remember you're just going into that direction from the
very day you started and as i said before guys uh the difference between setting out engineer and
site engineer it's it's not much of a difference really and the same story goes for the senior
engineer and project engineer this is not the big difference it depends really on the project
the project is huge you're going to have a one main engineer going to be project engineer and
then maybe even a few seniors and then gonna go to site engineers so guys uh i think that'll be all
in today's video uh i'm pretty sure now you know what money you can expect in in all certain roles
and obviously what's gonna start uh as a junior engineer and then you go setting out to the senior
and to the project engineer so there you go that's the money you got the information now so guys
just go for it and one more thing please don't forget to subscribe to the channel and leave the

in construction so guys leave the thumbs up don't forget to subscribe and obviously if you need to
