Understanding Science, engineering and production technicians n.e.c. pay in the UK
The typical science, engineering and production technicians n.e.c. in the UK earns a median salary of £34,475 in 2025/26. These figures come from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), so they reflect actual reported pay rather than self-reported estimates or job-advert ranges.
The middle half of science, engineering and production technicians n.e.c. earnings fall between £26,953 and £45,179 a year. That spread reflects the usual gap between newer entrants and more experienced science, engineering and production technicians n.e.c..
The mean (average) salary is higher, at £36,795. When the mean sits above the median like this, a smaller group of high earners is pulling the average up, which is why the median is the better guide to what a typical science, engineering and production technicians n.e.c. actually takes home.
