Just wanted a round about figure of what kind of salary a construction project manager could earn. We are planning a move but need to know that our expectations will be met before we start ! 15 years plus experience !
Just remember that cost of living in Canada is higher and most people reckon 1.75 to 2 times sterling salary to Canadian dollars is about rightI've seen people quoting $115-130,000.
We are moving from Dubai, but not for the money but for a better way of life. A 80 hour week is the norm here and it's time for a change !Just remember that cost of living in Canada is higher and most people reckon 1.75 to 2 times sterling salary to Canadian dollars is about right
So the 115-130k equates to somewhere between 57k-65k up to 66k-75k.
How does that compare to the UK?

There's no way on God's green Irish earth that COL in Canada is 1.75-2 times that of Ireland/UK.Just remember that cost of living in Canada is higher and most people reckon 1.75 to 2 times sterling salary to Canadian dollars is about right

That would be more correct. Some things more expensive, some less. It probably balances out.I had heard COL was similar to the uk ?
not like for like, depends on location and comparing sterling salary to a CAD salaryThere's no way on God's green Irish earth that COL in Canada is 1.75-2 times that of Ireland/UK.
Don't expect a massive change. My Brother-in-law works construction here and regularly does 6 day 60plus hour weeks... (especially for the money suggested, expect long hours)We are moving from Dubai, but not for the money but for a better way of life. A 80 hour week is the norm here and it's time for a change !
You were already given the average $115k - $130k. My company, compensates our PM's in Alberta - in your field and with the same years of experience- with $130k to start.Just wanted a round about figure of what kind of salary a construction project manager could earn.

Hold it! Saturdays and Sundays could be given off to employees depending on their religion/personal circumstances. For instance, 2 of my PM's don't work from sunset on Friday until sunset on Saturday.Sounds like we might be jumping from the frying pan to the fire !!! We were led to believe it would be more like a 7 am to 6 pm day and no Saturdays, we will have to do a bit more research ! Thanks for the advice though. With less holidays and money doesn't seem much point.
Just make sure you have all your certification. And that it can be transferred to Canadian equivalents. Personally, I would transfer them all before you come. It will work out a lot cheaper for you.Just wanted a round about figure of what kind of salary a construction project manager could earn.
