A few further comments on the above:

• Vehicles are generally worth $12K-$15K to the package.
• This is focused on the Wellington commercial market, however add $10K-$20K for Auckland, the Christchurch market I am not sure as there seems to be a lot of change. Also add $10K-$20K for infrastructure roles.
• Each case is different and this is only a guide.
• Job titles can be confusing between companies, generally the pay is related to project value and skill level.
• Some roles cross over but are at the same level – i.e. Senior Site Manager in my mind is the same level as Project Manager, just a different skillset within a main contractor.
• There are probably only about 5-10 true Project Directors in Wellington, this is a highly skilled and experienced role.

So there are my thoughts; they may not be 100% correct and, due to talking to top candidates only, they may be skewed towards the high end.

I’d love to hear your 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.

Mike.
