An established UK-based company specialising in offshore floating energy and mooring systems approached us for support.

As an existing client, they returned to us with a new challenge that required deep market insight.

The Challenge

The client needed a detailed understanding of current salary benchmarks across the Renewables and Traditional Marine Engineering sectors.

The Results

The salary survey delivered immediate value:

• Informed Pay Decisions: The client adjusted salary bands to better align with market expectations
