Compensation Survey Report
The only Québec engineering compensation survey!
Since its founding, Genium360 has published an annual survey on the compensation and working conditions of engineering professionals – a tool that has become a key reference allowing engineering graduates to position themselves in relation to their peers. Get the 33rd edition leveraging information from over 8,900 engineering professionals who responded.
In addition to the compensation survey, a comprehensive labour market report covering 170 engineering organizations is now in its 4th year of publication. This report allows human resources advisors to compare the conditions they offer their engineering graduates with those of the industry.
In addition to salary and benefits information, the 2025-2026 survey focuses on the impact of labour shortages on employment conditions, employee attraction and retention, and mental health in the workplace.

2025-2026 Highlights
As the inflationary surge that overheated the engineering labour market in recent years subsides, growth in the average base salary of engineering professionals is slowing to a level close to inflation. Genium360's latest annual Compensation Survey Report reveals the current base to be $130,941, up 2.8% over 2024. Over the same period, the consumer price index rose by 2.3%. The survey also shows that the effects of the labour shortage on professional employees continue to steadily decline, with just 50% of surveyed professionals reporting it this year as opposed to the peak of 86% seen 3 years ago.
The latest Labour Market Report, a survey specifically targeting engineering business executives, demonstrates that the market remains healthy, with almost 60% of businesses reporting growth. However, executives surveyed are quite worried about the economic outlook, with eight out of ten anticipating a recession in Canada in 2025, almost double last year’s number. The proportion of companies forecasting sales growth for the coming year is also down, from 56% to 48%.
