The United Nations Report “World Economic Situation and Prospects for 2011” indicates global growth has slowed since mid 2010 with a world gross product forecast to expand by 3.1%. Europe and the US have high levels of debt and large budget deﬁ cits which are reducing the growth prospects. However, overall the US has had lower than expected unemployment levels and there is a greater optimism for growth. For instance New York recorded 48.7 million visitors during 2010, setting a new record, with major hotels often being fully booked. This is a far cry from just over a year ago when New York tourist numbers took a recession-driven hit. On a positive note, the Asian economies will at this stage maintain growth. Australia, with its mining resources and association with China, is expected to be strong. However, the Australian domestic market is displaying mixed signals. Forecasts for growth in Australia are 3.7%, up from 3.2% for 2010 (NAB Survey), December unemployment ﬁ gures were 5%. Such ﬁ gures would normally suggest excellent growth prospects, but some economist’s views are somewhat subdued with speculation the Australian economy is slowing. Although there is great optimism by many, some medium to small businesses are still experiencing the effects of the global ﬁ nancial crisis. Those that supply speciﬁ c goods and services across a wide range of industries are still suffering. EXPECTATIONS AND IMPACTS FOR ENGINEERING Resources-based and major infrastructure projects could see an upsurge in the construction sector, according to the Australian Constructors Association. They are forecasting a revenue lift in engineering construction of 9.7% in 2011/12, with the total value of construction work to rise by 7.9%. Mining, utilities and transport look strong for 2011. The infrastructure spending is supported by road, rail, telecommunications projects, which are numerous and varied. Some major projects (potentially big spend projects) for 2011 as listed by the Construction Forecasting Council from feasibility studies, early planning to tender submissions etc are: • Electricity Major projects include Dalton Energy Project, Sapphire, Boco, Macarthur and Stockyard Wind Farms, Munmorah Power Station Rehabilitation and the Latrobe Valley Clean Power Station. Numerous other projects will maintain this sector. • Roads Projects in NSW include Branxton F3 link, Paciﬁ c Highway upgrade, M2 upgrade, the M5 Corridor expansion, and in Queensland the Cooroy Road works. • Bridge, railway and harbour projects Oakajee Deep Water Port, Surat Basin Railway Feasibility Study and the Wakeﬁ eld Marina feasibility Study. • Telecommunications The National Broadband project commenced in Tasmania and 5 ﬁ rst release sites are under development Australia wide. • Water and sewerage construction An early stage project is the Conors River Dam and associated pipelines. • Residential and nonresidential Nonresidential building is not expected to grow particularly in the education sector following the end of the Building Education Revolution (BER) stimulus injection. Some maintenance programs are expected. The townhouses and units construction sector Engineering employment market trends for 2011 by Bruce Exton Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 2010vi is looking strong and is expected to grow as well as home building which will be dependent on interest rates and a strong labour market. • Mining construction Is expected to maintain growth with substantial coal projects in Queensland and iron ore projects in Western Australia. The Queensland ﬂ oods will cause a stimulus, with the reconstruction of water, sewerage and drainage pipelines, road, rail, telecommunications, residential, commercial buildings, public areas, marinas, wharves and jetties. Also expected is funding for possible ﬂ ood mitigation works, leading to scoping and possible design and construct. March sees a state election in NSW. If an anticipated change in government occurs, some expenditure may be allocated and/or moved to new projects which no doubt will provide some additional stimulus to various engineering disciplines. Overall the construction and engineering growth estimates indicate overall excellent growth prospects for 2011.However, inﬂ ation with interest rate hikes, looms as a dampener on such predictions. SKILLS SHORTAGES Skills shortages will impact on projects in the coming year and are gearing up to be a hot issue. The availability of specialised skilled personnel is a threat to growth and has the potential to further impact on all industries, particularly engineering. The Australian National Engineering Taskforce (ANET), of which Engineers Australia is a member, reported last December that “Australia produces 6000 graduates annually which is half of our annual workforce needs”. Such ﬁ gures suggest that there will be cost and project completion time overruns. The Asian economies are growing and with that comes the opportunity for skilled personnel to look for greener pastures. There is evidence to suggest that although some expatriates returned to Australia following the global ﬁ nancial crisis, some are venturing offshore again. There is also evidence in some areas that employers are favouring experience gained in Australia over experience gained overseas when reviewing candidates. This is expected to be less evident as skill shortages hit harder. SALARY INCREASES Reports in the media of high salaries and record proﬁ ts in some industries are fuelling expectations of salary increases. Within our own recruitment agency we have been experiencing specialised skill shortages among numerous specialised roles requiring consultants having to explore a number of different recruiting avenues. Currently engineers in the following classiﬁ cations are in short supply: • civil design • bridge design and maintenance • water and waste water treatment design and commissioning • electrical power, design, electronic and instrumentation • special mechanical • rail • trafﬁ c engineering • engineers in most disciplines for rural/remote areas. Some mechanical/electrical and civil generalists are considered to be in the most available classiﬁ cations. In NSW some contractors in the public sector are looking for and gaining more lucrative positions within the private sector. This is likely to continue as the economy maintains strength and conﬁ dence grows. Competition for positions usually means the private sector wins out due to ﬂ exibility in salary packaging and remuneration. This will further put pressure on some government programs as they struggle to retain staff. Within the NSW government and its agencies there are restrictions on stafﬁ ng. Also, longer terms are being offered (especially in the public sector) to viiEngineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 2010 entice prospective candidates to accept positions. This is a positive strategy that is working. Our predictions for 2011 are: • An increase in both permanent and contract (temporary) vacancies will continue. • The availability of skilled personnel within Australia will decrease as a result of improving employment opportunities in mining and building construction industries (especially in Western Australia and Queensland). • There will be pressure on remuneration and contract rates due to greater expectations from skilled professionals. • States such as NSW will lose skilled personnel to other states due to higher remuneration levels. • Employers will be offering a range of incentives as a way of retaining key personnel • Candidate expectations regarding remuneration, location and contract duration will increase. • More individuals will move between positions seeking greater rewards, challenges, career opportunities and better work/life balance. • There will be greater emphasis on skills training and networking (to obtain potential skilled personnel), and greater acceptance of professionals with overseas experience.

Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 20102 3Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 2010 2.1 Background Engineers Australia is the key representative body for Australian engineers across all engineering disciplines and has a membership base of over 85,000. The organisation aims to enhance both the inﬂ uence and professional standing of engineers in the community, and includes a range of activities such as: ● advancing the science and practice of engineering ● cultivating lifelong learning by members ● championing professional and ethical conduct ● celebrating excellence in engineering outcomes ● sustaining the integrity of the profession ● taking the lead in advocacy of the profession. The contribution of Engineers Australia to the engineering community is highly valued, with the organisation providing members with such resources as networking events, seminars, career advice and publications. This report continues the salary and remuneration studies that newfocus has undertaken on behalf of Engineers Australia since 2003. The survey has undergone minor modiﬁ cations each year to ensure the most relevant data is captured. Since 2006, questions were included to assess the extent of the skills shortage in the engineering industry, as well as the impact it has had on engineering organisations. The total number of employers who completed the survey was 447, a substantial increase from the number of engineering organisations that participated in 2009 (n=395). The responses from 2010 are reﬂ ective of the working conditions of more than 150,000 professional engineers. 2.2 Aims and outcomes The general aim of this study was to investigate the employment conditions of professional engineers. More speciﬁ cally, this included obtaining data relating to: ● staff numbers: − total number of staff employed in the company − breakdown of part-time and full-time engineering staff − types and grades of engineers employed − location (by state) of engineering employees − number of engineers employed who are under 30 years of age − any shortages of engineers (in relation to type of engineer, grade and location by state) * issues experienced by companies due to recruiting difﬁ culties * the consequence of professional engineering skills shortages for the company − any anticipated shortages of engineers (in relation to type of engineer, grade and location by state) ● salary of engineering staff: − monetary value of package items and content of package (for example, mobile phone, car, etc) − extra beneﬁ ts for engineers working in remote areas or cities with above-average living expenses − annual salary increases − anticipated salary increases ● company policies pertaining to: − sick leave − annual leave − maternity/paternity leave − carer’s leave − compassionate leave − study leave − overtime ● number of hours worked per week by: − all staff − engineering employees ● postgraduate qualiﬁ cations of engineering employees 2 INTRODUCTION Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 20104 ● the employment and salary conditions of Chartered Professional Engineers (CPEs) and perceived beneﬁ ts of employing CPEs ● whether the company has an Engineers Australia Professional Development Plan in place ● whether company training is provided to engineering students ● biggest HR challenges facing the organisation The survey conducted by newfocus has facilitated the production of a report that addresses these points and will provide Engineers Australia, as well as engineering organisations, with valuable insight into the salary and remuneration packages offered to engineers. The instrument used to capture this information can be found in Appendix 2. 2.3 Methodology and sample An online survey methodology was again used in 2010. This year speciﬁ c steps were taken during the project setup phase to boost the response rate, including ensuring the survey was active prior to commencing marketing efforts. Furthermore, the survey was announced in the electronic newsletter eNews giving readers the opportunity to click straight through to the questionnaire. This, combined with other marketing and promotional activities, has been very effective in signiﬁ cantly improving the response rate from previous years. In addition to this, Engineers Australia supplied newfocus with lists of potential respondents which included companies running Engineers Australia’s Professional Development Program, past participants and 2010 contacts. A number of incentives were again offered to respondents to boost the response rates. Respondents were: ● given automatic entry into a draw for a choice of either a weekend package deal for two people at a quality hotel in their nearest capital city up to the value of $750, a Coles Myer voucher to the value of $750 or an iPad to the value of $750 ● offered a copy of a summary report and discount on the price of the full report. Response rates were monitored on a daily basis throughout the research. Two reminder emails were sent to those on the lists. The survey was active from 9 November to 6 December. Those individuals who participated in the survey were employers within engineering ﬁ rms who had a thorough knowledge of the salary structure within their organisation. As an example, the types of people who responded included managers, human resource managers, payroll ofﬁ cers, and a variety of different types of engineers (eg mining, electrical, etc). In 2010, a total of 447 respondents completed the survey, which was signiﬁ cantly higher than 2009 and 2008 (395 and 234, respectively). These respondents represented more than 150,000 engineers and 447 organisations in Australia. 5Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 2010 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The total average salary package of professional engineers, with the private and public sectors combined, increased by 7%, a signiﬁ cant jump from the small increase reported in 2009. Looking at the private and public sectors separately, the gap in salary packages between both sectors stood at about 17%, very similar to 2009. A breakdown of private and public sector combined salaries into levels of experience reveals that the biggest increases were in grade 1 (entry level) and grades 4 and 5 (senior engineers with a minimum of 10 years experience. Starting salary packages rose by about $8000. In grade 4 and 5 salary packages rose by about $10,000 and $16,000 respectively, indicating that these senior engineers are in high demand. The chartered professional engineer status remained valuable in some organisations, with 12% of all respondents indicating that they paid their chartered professional engineers more than other engineers for comparable duties. The main beneﬁ ts of employing chartered professional engineers were given as conﬁ dence in their competencies, professional image and industry recognition. Engineers in the private sector on average worked longer hours than their counterparts in the public sector. While the percentage of engineers working between 41 and 45 hours was about the same in the private and public sectors at around 34%, more engineers in the private sector worked between 45 and 50 hours (20% compared with 9% in the public sector) and fewer engineers in the private sector worked between 36 and 40 hours (29% compared with 53% in the public sector). The main types of beneﬁ ts included in the salary packages remained the same as in previous years, with mobile phones, professional membership subscriptions and laptop computers at the top. The only signiﬁ cant change since 2008 was a drop in vehicle or vehicle allowance (down by 11%). As in previous years, paid leave provisions were signiﬁ cantly more generous in the public sector than in the private sector. Nearly half of the public sector respondents allowed up to 20 days for paid sick leave, with only 13% in the private sector offering the same. Similarly, nearly 80% of public sector respondents offered paid study leave (compared with 47% in the private sector), 85% offered paid maternity leave (compared with 50% in the private sector) and 66% offered paid paternity leave (compared with 40% in the private sector). Staff recruitment, retention and remuneration remained the key challenges for human resource teams, with 62% of respondents saying they had experienced professional engineer skills shortages, up from 53% in 2009. Engineers sought after by the largest numbers of respondents were in the disciplines of civil, mechanical, electrical and structural engineering. Nearly 30% of respondents indicated that the skills shortages led to major problems including project delays and cost increases. Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 20106 4 FINDINGS 4.1 Key ﬁ ndings The ﬁ ndings indicate that base salary has increased by around 4%, and salary package has increased by around 7% year-on-year. The average reported base salary in the private sector for 2010 was $97,462 and the average salary package was $113,156. These ﬁ gures have continued to trend upwards since 2008. In the public sector, both base salary and salary package levels have increased by 6% respectively. However, caution should be used in interpreting these ﬁ gures due to the small sample sizes. 4.1.1 Average salaries – total (private and public sectors combined) 89,574 91,436 95,410 103,220 103,600 110,870 $0 $20,000 $40,000 $60,000 $80,000 $100,000 $120,000 Average salaries (2008 n=234) Average salaries (2009 n=395) Average salaries (2010 n=416) Base salary Salary package 4.1.2 Average salaries – private and public sectors separated 106,657 107,106 113,156 88,748 95,902 85,851 94,25492,15 78,692 97,462 81,097 90,544 $0 $20,000 $40,000 $60,000 $80,000 $100,000 $120,000 2008 (n=196) 2009 (n=322) 2010 (n=340) 2008 (n=38) 2009 (n=73) 2010 (n=74) Private sector Public sector Base salary Salary package 6 7Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 2010 Average Salary Packages – Public Sectors Grade 1: Starting Grade 2: 3-5 years Grade 3: 4-10 years Grade 4: 10-15 years Grade 5: 15 years plus Civil 64,517 74,529 90,483 104,634 126,729 Structural 65,556 84,100 99,000 112,444 138,200 Electrical 69,273 93,467 104,850 115,308 143,231 Mechanical 75,556 83,174 95,643 109,133 135,600 Chemical 88,000 – 88,000 110,000 167,500 IT & E 72,306 93,620 99,905 102,408 125,035 Environmental 75,857 89,600 101,429 – 120,333 Mining ––––– Average Salary Packages– Private and Public Sectors Combined Grade 1: Starting Grade 2: 3-5 years Grade 3: 4-10 years Grade 4: 10-15 years Grade 5: 15 years plus Civil 64,749 78,501 99,337 129,946 161,957 Structural 65,552 78,576 98,463 128,979 166,012 Electrical 73,620 85,779 100,490 129,509 176,704 Mechanical 89,075 81,914 102,556 149,744 181,883 Chemical 74,400 82,711 141,093 140,647 180,906 IT & E 87,411 92,984 113,065 125,285 145,476 Environmental 65,452 78,459 98,847 121,673 151,450 Mining 92,500 100,333 130,917 156,667 157,000 Average Salary Packages – Private Sectors Grade 1: Starting Grade 2: 3-5 years Grade 3: 4-10 years Grade 4: 10-15 years Grade 5: 15 years plus Civil 64,850 79,949 102,234 137,431 173,076 Structural 65,551 77,375 98,362 130,897 169,246 Electrical 75,069 83,919 98,802 132,147 185,237 Mechanical 90,506 81,803 103,030 152,003 183,648 Chemical 72,457 82,711 143,135 142,563 182,821 IT & E 61,386 76,576 116,457 130,082 151,404 Environmental 62,417 76,316 98,315 121,673 156,363 Mining 92,500 100,333 130,917 156,667 157,000 Engineers Australia Salary and Benefi ts Survey 20108 Salaries and conditions The total range of salaries for professional engineers was broken down into base salary and salary packages in the private and public sectors.
