Advertised, not paid: these are the salaries employers stated in live job adverts. They are not a survey of what people are paid, and this site neither sets nor guarantees any rate.

Five measured points from the adverts that state pay. Nothing is drawn between them, because the shape in between has not been measured.

Permanent and contract

Only adverts the feed marks as permanent or contract for Project Controls roles across the UK, so the two samples do not add up to the headline figure.

Permanent, median advertised salary£79,000advertised · 10 adverts stating pay · 04 Oct 2026
Contract, median advertised day rateFewer than 5 adverts state pay.3 of 3 live adverts state pay · 04 Oct 2026

Day rates are converted at 230 working days a year and annual figures back the same way, so the two are the same number in different units. An equivalent is arithmetic, not an offer.

By level

The level comes from the words in the advert title. An advert that does not say its level counts towards the overall figure and no level.

A change between two months is a change in what is being advertised, a different mix of employers and levels, not a pay rise.

How the figure is worked out

Every live Project Controls advert on the board is read for its stated pay, converted to a yearly figure, and recorded in a dated snapshot. Snapshots are never overwritten, which is where the month-by-month table comes from.

Adverts that state no pay (competitive, negotiable, depending on experience) are counted in the total and left out of every figure, which is why the share stating pay is printed beside the sample.

Nothing is estimated. Below 5 adverts stating pay this site publishes no figure and says how many it has. The full method.
