Top Talent Remuneration: Building Supplies Industry
A few weeks ago, I outlined my thoughts on salary levels within the construction sector, this focused on core site based roles such as site manager and quantity surveyor. On top of recruiting for this area we also recruit for sub-contractor roles or suppliers of products to the building industry sector (I know this is a bit of a mouthful, I haven’t come up with a succinct name for this sub-sector yet!).
It is important to note that these packages are purely from my point of view based on discussions with clients and candidates. There is no science to it, but I have a reasonable handle on what you need to pay to secure a top candidate.

A few further comments on the above:
- Vehicles are generally worth $12K-$15K to the package
- This is focused on the Auckland market as that is where we do the majority of this type of work, however take approximately $10K-$20K off for other parts of the country.
- Job titles can be confusing between companies; generally the pay is related to turnover and sales.
- Role definition is critical, as in this sector the role definitions are not as clear cut.
- Remember, each case is different and this is only a guide! They may not be 100% correct and they may be skewed towards what the top candidates want as that is who we are talking to.
I’d love to hear our thoughts as either an employee or employer and if you want to catch up over a beer to discuss further I’ll get the first round.
