No estimates Ray, facts, internal documents of which company I will not tell you, but they are readily available to certain members of staff in all companies. yes they include allowances.
Err thats what Im saying, your figure for Fugro Rovtech is way too high. I should know! You would need to be over 20 years with the Company AND be working in West Africa for every day to get anywhere near the rate you quote. And there are not many that are > 20 years.
From the rates table here £36.5k salary, £170 a day. If you assume 175 days (which is the standard Fugro contract), thats £66250 which equates to £378.57 a day for 175 days.
If you did ALL your days in W Africa AND were 20 years with the company, you would get an additional £9275, which would then equate to £431 per day.
I realise the rates are now higher than what the table says at present, so this would bring the rate closer to what you stated.
However, I think your rate is not representantive of what the average Superintendent would get as they are not likely to do 175 days in W Africa and I only know of one who has over 20 years service.
I would say £400 a day would be more realistic.
Including loyalty bonuses in dayrates that you would only get after several years I feel gives an unfair view when people are looking at joining a particular company as this is not what they would get for a few years. So I would rather see the rates tables show what you would get when you start with a company.
Do al the other companies rates include extra bonuses?
