[@ColexPreston]

Great video as usual Greg, Its really good that you are doing these as this is exactly what the industry needs someone to explain what actually happens out on the park and what to expect 😀

[@SITENG]

Thank you Jamie! Really happy to hear that 😁 👍👍👍

[@kingston5710]

i am in my final year about to enter term two. I was nervous about the salary , because i like the industry and the job but it didn't have an attractive salary. The good paying jobs for starting engineers needed experience. however after watch you i felt much better.

Money in construction is good and with experience your salary will grow 😁 Don't be too nervous 😁

Hii, I am planning to come uk for master degree but i am bit confuse which I have to select construction project management or msc in civil engineering can you please guide me on this

[@SITENG]

Hi! It's hard to say really and depends what you want to do in the future. I noticed a lot of people want to do management role, but think what do you really like. It's a truth that here in UK engineering is a way to management, but not everyone wants to be a manager 😁

Hi Greg! I've been watching your videos all the time and it really helps me a lot. I am a Filipino Civil Engineer and just recently came here in the UK under a skilled worker visa and now working as a site engineer. I am planning to further my studies and career and I was wondering if you have some tips on what universities offers programmes that Incould take. My engineering degree hin the Philippines is equivalent to foundation degree/ BTEC level 5 here in the UK. Hope you read this and thanks for your videos.

[@SITENG]

Hi! Can't really say about the universities as I don't know which ones offer what. Great to hear that you're working as an engineer, I would ask the company if they could help. Sometimes there is a chance to still work and study and they could help you. All the best!!!

Please, can i know the best university in uk for civil engineering?

[@SITENG]

Hi, sorry but I dont know which one is the best, I myself don’t think it’s that important really

[@e.m.doherty723]

I am an employed site engineer in England (PAYE), have just under 5 years experience on site and a BEng in Civil Engineering. I started off with minimal money obviously, 25k a year and worked my way up to over 45k now. I have actually worked for 4 construction companies and have got a pay rise every time I moved company. The best way to get a pay rise as you can negotiate pay during the interviewing process. I know guys from my Uni that aren’t on as good money as me, due to staying faithful to the one company but not getting the money they perhaps deserve. I also know guys from Uni who are self employed and earning better than me, but I think I am just too comfortable employed, with the benefits of paid holidays and a free work car etc. I have definitely flirted with self employment and may soon venture into it, but I’m definitely glad I have got the good experience I have so far. Being employed I think the construction companies will have a little bit more patience with you, especially when you are young, and provide training etc. I would personally recommend to any young person or site engineer starter to first begin with employment due to the benefits highlighted, and then if they wish to go self employed after 2+ years. I’ve heard of chain men and people who started site engineering get in trouble with taking on too much responsibility too soon, even someone being taken to court for making a huge ‘cock up’ that cost a company a fortune. Why he needed to do was gain vital experience and start off with a lower salary instead of thinking he was Billy big bollock and getting himself in trouble. Regardless of what you do, please gain solid experience and follow your conscience when taking on responsibility, whilst also taking calculated risks to push yourself. Good fortune!

[@SITENG]

Thank you for the information 👍👍 Definitely to get better pay conditions you have to change the company, even if you are happy with it, it's good to change and come back to the original company as you will get much better pay (few reasons for it). I personally think Self employed might be better as you said you have to jump into 'deep waters', but this way you can progress much quicker and moneywise you're starting from better position. Great to hear your story and really happy you're sharing your opinion as people then can choose seeing pros and cons of working in different type of employment. Thanks again 👍👍

Come here and get whatever job at first really. There are some big jobs running and big to come (HS2, HPC, Sizewell C coming) so there will be constant need for engineers. I can't really say a lot about Geotechnical engineering, but after you do your degree you won't be limited only to geotechnical stuff anyway. Big projects like I mentioned always need engineers with geotechnical knowledge and TBH on every project geotechnical stuff is needed.

Hard to say as they always pay less for students. In frames you don't really need a degree to work as an engineer and there is a chance to work and study. Can't tell you how much, but 20k is a joke if you're doing a job right - normally they would have to pay much more, remember that.
