As Australia works towards building the infrastructure needed to support the countryโs urbanisation and growth while balancing environmental responsibility, the demand for skilled professionals is soaring in the civil and environmental sectors.
Despite compensation being a crucial part of the decision-making process for both hiring managers and professionals, information around current benchmarks and market standards is limited.
To support both parties as a leading global energy & infrastructure talent partner, LVI Associates has surveyed over 450 civil and environmental professionals across Australia to bring you brand-new guidance for 2024.
Inside the report youโll find exclusive benchmarks on the following aspects of compensation, with results broken down for transport, water, ESG & sustainability, environmental sciences & management, and ecology & biodiversity professionals:
Base salaries
Salary increases
Bonuses
Benefits
Annual & parental leave entitlements
Flexible working allowances
In addition, the report uncovers what motivates professionals in their career decisions, including the biggest reasons that drive them to leave their current company or join a new one, the pay rises they are aiming for in their next role, and how flexible working policies impact whether they would accept a new role.
Key findings include:
80% of surveyed water professionals received an increase to their base salary in the past year
90% of transport respondents said that flexible working is important or very important when considering a new job opportunity
51% of environmental sciences & management professionals revealed they were awarded a bonus in the last 12 months
