Energy plant operatives: salary in the UK
ONS didn't publish salary figures for Energy plant operatives in 2026: too few full-time employees were in the survey sample for a reliable estimate. This is common for jobs where many people are self-employed, because the survey only covers employees.
The wider group Plant and Machine Operatives (SOC 813) has a median of £33,601 a year.
