That\u2019s according to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cv-library.co.uk\/cvdatabase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">CV-Library<\/a><\/strong>, the UK independent job board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings, which compare job market data from September 2019 with the same period in 2018, reveal that there were 5.5% more engineering jobs on offering during this period, though this figure dropped by 3.9% month-on-month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee Biggins, founder and CEO of CV-Library, comments: \u201cThis underlying job market growth is certainly surprising given the uncertainty amid Boris Johnson\u2019s unlawful decision to suspend parliament.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHowever, despite the Brexit mess we find ourselves in, we know that September is usually a busy month for hiring, which could explain why employers are feeling confident and why the market has experienced such a boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAccording to the findings, engineering pay jumped up by 3.8% year-on-year, bringing the average salary for new engineering jobs up to \u00a336,509 per annum. This figure was also a 1.1% increase on August.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biggins continues: \u201cCompanies across the sector are showing their mettle in abnormal hiring conditions and are continuing to defy expectations by pushing forward with their recruitment efforts. That said, organisations should be cautious of constantly pushing up pay as it might not be sustainable in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile the job market is strong and it\u2019s a popular time to search for a job, employers shouldn\u2019t relax and rest on their laurels.
