Consultants’ salary survey – good news, bad news

Pay is up for construction consultants across the sector, but employers and employees alike are cautious in weak economic conditions

Satisfied with your pay? It’s one of those questions that rarely elicits a positive response. But this year construction consultants have little reason to grumble – in fact, our salary survey conducted by recruiter Hays suggests many of them must be grinning from ear to ear. Or at least this is probably the case for those directors and partners at QS firms in London, where they have broken the six-figure barrier and joined the ranks of the top 5% of UK earners.

What may give them even greater pleasure is to know their £100,000 average pay represents an 8% rise over 12 months of unprecedented market uncertainty and political turmoil. Clearly Brexit is no bother to this tribe of professionals, many of whom seem confident their businesses will continue to grow well into 2019 and beyond. And behind that average we know that directors at certain firms in the capital are being offered up to £130,000, with bonuses that can be anything between 3% and 10%.
