Utilities Salary Survey

The Utilities Salary Survey reports compensation data for 292 benchmark jobs related to generation, transmission, treatment and distribution of electric power, natural gas, steam supply, water supply, and the collection, treatment and disposal of waste materials.

The Utilities Salary Survey documents market-based pay data for 21 executive and 271 non-management salary benchmark jobs from up to three databases: digitized public sources, ERI Assessor Series data, and direct participants. The following information is reported for each job title (salary data are shown in means, medians, and percentile cuts):

  • Annual Salary
  • Incentive/Variable Pay
  • Total Direct Annual Compensation
  • Job Description
  • Selected Characteristics of the Occupation (SCO)

Survey information is solicited through traditional mail, email, and online questionnaires. Each data submission is thoroughly screened by our team of experienced researchers prior to inclusion in a survey. No attempt is made to alter incumbent data as reported other than to normalize collected compensation amounts to a common date. Data collection begins October and ends March. The Utilities salary guide and survey results are published annually in July, with an effective data date of March 31 of the given survey year.
