How engineering project coordinator pay ranges in Libya

A good way to think about salary in Libya is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all engineering project coordinators in Libya earn less than 32,020 LYD a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 21,100 LYD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 37,800 LYD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of engineering project coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 17,020 LYD. The highest stretch to 46,980 LYD, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Engineering project coordinator pay by experience in Libya

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an engineering project coordinator in Libya, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical engineering project coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    19,220 LYD
  • 2-5 Years
    +17% from previous
    22,400 LYD
  • 5-10 Years
    +49% from previous
    33,440 LYD
  • 10-15 Years
    +14% from previous
    38,060 LYD
  • 15-20 Years
    +12% from previous
    42,460 LYD
  • 20+ Years
    +7% from previous
    45,560 LYD

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 49%. That is the point at which a engineering project coordinator typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Engineering project coordinator pay by education in Libya

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving engineering project coordinator pay in Libya. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Below is the average engineering project coordinator salary in Libya broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

    22,400 LYD
  • Bachelor's Degree

Engineering project coordinator gender pay gap in Libya

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Libya is no exception. Male engineering project coordinators in Libya earn an average of 31,380 LYD a year, while female engineering project coordinators earn around 30,840 LYD. That works out to a 2% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
