Professionally registered engineers report higher earnings

Former Community Member over 5 years ago

Professionally registered engineers report higher earnings

"Average salaries are higher among professionally registered engineers in all areas of industry, according to a 2018 Salary Survey produced by The Engineer. The mean average salary among professionally registered respondents was over £8,000 a year higher."

Andy,

I think perhaps even more complicated than that.

For example, I currently work in a consultancy where the grading is Engineer/Senior Engineer/Consultant/Senior Consultant/Principal Consultant so someone describing themselves as a Senior Engineer is fairly junior and probably not registered yet. This will be compared with a Senior Engineer in a different business who may be quite senior and registered. Is this a good comparison of the added earnings of registration?

My feeling on the survey results is it is more likely to be a causative relationship with the engineers who gain promotion/seniority/higher pay rises being more likely to be the ones who apply for and gain registration, rather than the other way round. I am with you on supporting registration but I agree that it is a disservice to try to persuade someone that they will be better paid if they are registered.
