Bump to help get us a few more Aggies...

I've been with them for past 8 years after doing 8 years of travel and construction with a large heavy/civil contractor.

Awesome work/life balance compared to the typical grind on the jobsite. Hybrid of working from home, office, and visiting jobsites. The potential to travel a few days per month is also just enough to keep it interesting.

This was a sector of the construction industry I didn't know much about until I found them, having worked with government contracts in the past. My cost controls and project management skills easily crossed over into this job.

Just out of curiosity, I have a question for the OP or other poster that works there. What's the pay range for a position like this? Are we talking above or below six figures?

I'm sure the standard answer is "well it depends on your qualifications, blah, blah, blah….", but assume the candidate has the exact experience/skills you're looking for.

As someone that has done this job elsewhere...wouldn't touch for under 120...would expect higher.


As someone that reads Texags...saw a job like this advertised for 65k last year on job board!

That's my thoughts exactly. Both the amount I would want in order to be interested, and the amount I'm afraid they would offer.

Rant time: This is why I feel like all job postings should include a salary range. Why should I even bother spending time on sending a resume, interviewing, etc, if both parties are going to be severely disappointed by the salary expectations once numbers are discussed?

By the way I'm not trying to pick on the OP or talk smack about the job at all. Just airing a frustration with job postings in general. Only reason I chimed in here is I truly am interested because I am a very qualified candidate. I just don't want to waste either of our time.

I'm torn. If I new individual people's info was being protected, I would be for it. So if it was a law that job postings had to post the company defined salary range, okay.

The problem is this often gets weaponized by politics just like everything else. The below is what the EU is proposing. It's supposed to be about transparency in job salaries (posting the salary with the job posting and ensuring equal pay among equal jobs). Here's the problem. That often means losing top performers as you can't pay your better employees more unless you make new job titles just for them.

Here they are using job transparency to require gender pay requirements, not performance. Except it only cuts the pay gap in half because the pay gap is there for lots of reason, gender being only one.

"Under the proposed EC plans, workers will also have the right to request salary information broken down by gender and work level. Employers will have to provide salary ranges on job ads and will be banned from asking questions about pay history."

What's worse is in the few countries that have already gone to this, it has morphed into everyone's personal salary info eventually being available to the public. No thanks.

The kicker is studies have been done on this and it generally hurts production. No matter how much people claim they want equality, their actions say otherwise. People need to be compensated more for working harder or providing better results than their peers. It's human nature and the reason socialism eventually fails.

You think someone 3-5 years out of school should be making $120k+?

Depends. Are you paying someone for their performance or looking for reasons not to?

Salary is based on the work performed.

If someone has been "out of school" for 10 years but cannot do the work, yet someone three years out of school can, pay them for the work performed.

You can likely expect base plus bonus. Bonus will likely put you at a specific % of revenue you bring in. Your ability to bring in revenue will increase once you are efficient at your work. You can likely reach 120 after a few years, but that's my best guess.

I don't work for the same company, but somewhere similar.

They are looking for recent graduates with a few years experience. It looks like average Construction Science starting salary is $65k or a little more. Figure in a few raises and maybe around $80k.

Salaries are now required here on Colorado listings. Lots of higher up positions post as tbd location to get around it though.

I guess I asked the forbidden question. Over two weeks now and neither of the people working at the company have been back to answer.
