Hi folks,
I know this has been asked many times on previous threads but i was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge of salary in N.Ireland for safety professional. I currently have an offer from another firm which is an excellent package but requires a move back to mainland. I have a degree in SHE mgt and 3 years experience which covers CDM, production, engineering and a wide range of issues. I obviously have plenty to learn and progress but just wondering if any one new what kind of level of salary i should be looking at with my current employers who are a very large firm.(Suppose this question is like how long is a piece of string!) I've tried the SHP survey and google but no information for N.I really. Any advice would be appreciated!
Cheers, Gav

You may have already tried this, but assuming you receive SHP magazine, the salaries in the jobs section give you a great feel for what employers are willing to pay for specific qualifications, experience and specialities.
The fact that you have a degree means that you are desirable to an employer, (and long term that will be a major asset) however only 3 years experience may restrict the number of posts available, also membership of IOSH is worth quite a lot.
Assuming you have good personal skills etc, I would have thought you should be able to get between £30K - £35K.
Does that fit with what you have been offered?

Thanks for your replies, much appreciated. The English offer is within that area however current in N.Ireland is alot lower. Really thats what i'd like to find out, if N.Ireland wage would be so much lower than UK. To be honest i don't think it should be, i know it won't be on parity with england but do feel maybe i'm not quite getting what i should be. Do do have very good experience already although 3 years may not be viewed as a great deal.
Cheers again.

As I understand, the cost of living is lower in Northern Ireland. One way of doing this may be to try to find how much less the general cost of living is in percentage terms, then apply that to what you would expect to get in the UK.

Hi Paul,
That used to be the case a few years ago but N.I has started to catch up rapidly now. I lived in the midlands of England for 6 years up to recently and to be honest there really is very little difference these days. Houses, travel, living and such things are no different to what i would have paid over there.
