Okay, let’s tackle this. So Phil Winterburn has 39 years of experience in civil engineering, which is a long time. He has a First Class Hons degree in Civil Engineering from Liverpool Polytechnic, which is a reputable institution. His experience in contaminated land remediation and contract management are in demand, especially in the UK. According to Glassdoor, the average salary for a civil engineer in the UK is around £40,000-£60,000 per year. Considering his experience and education, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around £125-£150 per hour, which is on the lower end of the scale. However, since he is in the Manchester area, I will round down to £125.
