Electrical Engineer pay in Italy: Milan leads, Rome trails

The Italy national median for a electrical engineer is 103.000 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 65.400 € in Rome to 83.900 € in Milan (1.3×).

Electrical engineers design and test electrical systems, circuits, and electronics. Common screening skills include Circuits, Signal processing, PCB, and Testing.

A modeled national band runs about 69.600 €–143.800 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +9% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Italian city.

Milan sits -19% vs the national median; Rome sits -37%. Relocating inside Italy for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby engineering titles on this site include Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Chemical Engineer, and Aerospace Engineer.
