Civil Engineer Salary in Poland

Civil Engineer pay in Poland: Warsaw leads, Kraków trails

The Poland national median for a civil engineer is 227 000 zł a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 143 000 zł in Kraków to 167 000 zł in Warsaw (1.2×).

Civil engineers design and oversee infrastructure like roads, bridges, and water systems. Common screening skills include AutoCAD, Structures, Project mgmt, and Codes.

A modeled national band runs about 155 500 zł–314 400 zł around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +8% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Polish city.

Warsaw sits -26% vs the national median; Kraków sits -37%. Relocating inside Poland 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.
