About the Index
The Ambit Engineering Salary & Contract Index is based upon job offers in the Oil, Gas & Mining sector and employment activity in Western Australia

Contract Rates
Please note that all $AUD hourly rates listed are the ‘Rate to the Contractor’ only, including superannuation but not including management fees, bonuses,
commissions or any other benefits or fees.

Contract rates are generally determined by the skills and experience of the individual contractor combined with the market demand for those particular
skills at the time the contract was offered.

The figures provided are based on aggregate averages, some rates may fall slightly below the minimum or slightly over the maximum, however these
were generally considered as exceptions.

Permanent Salaries
All permanent salaries listed are in $AUD and inclusive of superannuation.

Position Locations
The index assumes that Construction roles are site based and all other roles are city based.
