In 2023, the wages and salaries in the European civil engineering sector varied significantly by country. Germany led with the highest value at 12.93 billion euros, followed by the UK and France. Despite Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands being major economies, their values were considerably lower, under 4 billion euros, indicating potential challenges or differences in industry scale or remuneration.
Year-on-year variation highlights included significant increases in Lithuania (11.02%), Malta (30.6%), and Bulgaria (10.43%), while Cyprus faced a considerable decrease (-18.59%). Germany and Austria saw solid growth at 6.91% and 6.24% respectively, reflecting robust sector performance.
Future trends to watch include potential growth in Central and Eastern European countries driven by infrastructure investments, while Western European countries may experience slower growth due to market saturation. The growing focus on sustainability and digital technology integration could influence salary structures and demand for specialized skills in the sector.
