Report: average earnings in construction PLN 8,000 lower than other industries

In the first quarter of 2024, average salaries in the construction and industrial sectors were lower than in other industries, at PLN 8,136.56 gross, according to Grafton Recruitment's "Industrial Sector Salary Report 2024." In comparison, the energy sector offers an average gross salary of PLN 11,071.

The report indicates that demand for workers, especially manual laborers and specialists, is rising. Salaries for high-level roles, such as project managers and construction engineers, range from PLN 12,000 to PLN 30,000. The construction sector is expected to benefit from new investments, sustainable building trends, and EU funds, which could increase energy and infrastructure projects. However, a declining number of students in technical fields is a growing concern, potentially impacting the sector's future workforce.
