Hi, all. I will finish my bachelor in civil engineering this year. Just curious, what is the range of salary for fresh civil engineer ? I prefer to work at office ? I heard that those who grad with 1st class honour will get better starting salary, am i right ? Can engineer tell your salary here?

Bachelor?

Rm2k to rm2.5k?

Civil engineering should be base on site.

Different company different range...
But basically its from 2k till 3.2k 🙏

only up to 2.5k , that is too low I am expecting at least a rm2.5k

site engineer ? or consultant engineer ?

Heavy industries need engineer who has experience at site. Prefer to work in office? Don't over estimate for starting pay.

strawberry generation don't know what work is.....

If you're based in office, you would be working consultant job, designing and rushing drawings until late night just to beat deadlines.

site engineers, you basically have the same shitty hours, but get to watch every go up in front of your eyes.

Either way, project delivery>>>>>>> "work-life balance"

I know the site working condition , but i couldnt stand it. During the intern period, I was based at site. It's great to see that everything grow in front of eyes. But, the pay of consultant engineer really lower ah ?

Probably between rm2.5k to rm3k for fresh grad.

Is there any site which i can check the salary range of fresh grad ?

pay is roughly the same.

working hours is going to be your problem.

jobstreet....

I can safely tell you, most of my friends are earning the higher range of 2.5k-3k when working as engineer.

It's just whether you will like the type of work and hours involved.

When i worked at site last time, there was a lot of OT. Consultant also the same ?

same, if got project.
If no project, you go home 9-5 sharp or dont even have to show up.
OT cannot claim, usually because you are "executive"

Hi,

Civil engineers works at site pays much hire than working in the office. My company pays for fresh graduate RM3k. If working everyday in site +RM300 allowance. No OT though.

same with my previous company , no OT claim working at site

I plan to work in consultant firm , which type of company should I go to ? Those big company or shall i start with small firm first ? Since I have 0 experience, I wish to learn as much as I can in the short time

I wouldn't hire you if you say that.

why ? haha Just asking opinion, which type of company should I join first ? I just want to learn and gain some useful experience first

Might give some guide on salary scale. Anyway, dont be too choosy as the job market is hard these days. If you can land anything close to rm3k, take it. Learn for few years in whatever company, and you will gain more leverage for your next career. Just make sure you dont run away from engineering as it might be hard to come back to it in future.
