Leading construction companies are predicting a rise of 3.2% to £24,000 in their graduate salaries for the 2011–2012 recruitment season, according to the AGR Summer Review. The AGR (Association of Graduate Recruiters) surveyed its members in May this year, asking them what starting salaries they expected to be offer in this recruitment cycle. (As the data were collected before the end of the cycle, they are treated as predictions.)
AGR members are typically big, blue-chip companies. Members from the construction industry include Amey, Atkins, BAM Construct, Costain, EC Harris, Lend Lease, Mace and Wates. As such, AGR salaries shouldn’t be viewed as representative of the whole construction industry. However, it’s still a welcome piece of good news for the sector.
Across other employment sectors, salaries were predicted either to remain flat or to rise by between 1.0% (IT/telecoms companies) and 10.9% (consulting or business services firms).
