Professional Engineer Remuneration Survey Report

To get the best from people, you need two things: the best information, and to provide reward commensurate with expectation.
Consider how effectively your organisation deals with:
- negotiating enterprise agreements
- negotiating workplace agreements
- negotiating individual contracts
- negotiating salary reviews
- managing organisational change
- developing new products
- recruitment of quality staff
- changes in processes or location
That’s where the Professional Engineer Remuneration Survey Report comes in. Carried out by the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia (APESMA), it provides the very latest information on remuneration of professional engineers in Australia. There is, quite simply, no better, nor any more up-to-date guide.
Its benefits are numerous. Access to this survey gives you the advantage when negotiating enterprise or workplace agreements, individual contracts, or performing salary reviews. Actually, it will help you retain and attract the best quality staff.
The Professional Engineer Remuneration Survey Report is essential because it:
- is conducted twice yearly (which means: it's always the most up-to-date guide). It is published every June and December, with each 132-page report detailing both base salary and total remuneration package by responsibility level, job function, experience, discipline, qualification, sector, industry, turnover and geographic location. It also includes information on the latest trends in remuneration packaging, industrial regulation and the Fringe Benefits Tax.
- contains easy to read tables with details of remuneration packages by costing to motor vehicles, overtime, allowances, superannuation, car parking, bonuses, etc. given. All amounts are in Australian dollars ($AUD).
- details annual salary movements across industries.
- puts at your fingertips information on salaries paid for Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and other engineering disciplines.
- includes details of hourly contract rates, and advises on trends in relevant economic and industrial issues likely to impact upon the employment contracts of professional engineers.
- allows all subscribers to receive free access to all information online via the APESMA website. The online salary calculator is a fully customised, interactive version, where the end-user selects their own multiple options in each category, such as years of experience, sector of engineering, qualification, etc, for analysis. When you receive a copy of the report, you will be given a unique username and password. There is no additional charge for this service, however, your username and password will only remain valid as long as your order remains current. The survey reports are published in the first week of June and December each year, with login details for the previous edition becoming invalid immediately upon publication of the next report. Password details provided to customers who purchase a single issue of the report will be valid for a maximum of six months, depending on the time of purchase relative to the publication date of the next report. Password details for an annual subscription will remain valid for a maximum of twelve months.
