Project Coordinator, median advertised salary£32,500advertised · 115 adverts stating pay · 04 Oct 2026 Project Director, median advertised salary£110,000advertised · 31 adverts stating pay · 04 Oct 2026

The two samples are different sets of adverts from different employers, so a gap between them is a gap in what is being advertised.

Advertised, not paid: these are the salaries employers stated in live job adverts. They are not a survey of what people are paid, and this site neither sets nor guarantees any rate.
