Design & Architecture Salary Information.
After a few years of increasing salaries, there has been a plateau in the Wellington region over the last 12 months.
According to Seek, over the last 5 years wages for Design and Architecture roles grew by a whopping 28.6% and the average advertised salary rose from $65,502 to $84,213 per annum.
The reason for this salary growth was partly due to an increase in projects in the buildings market combined with a shortage of skilled professionals.
Salaries were becoming unsustainable for many firms and it was inevitable that salary growth would plateau.
