I'm not in civil engineering industry (I'm in IT), but I have similar experience with you at early years of my career. I started my career as 'project administrator', basically just print documents, stabling document, and other admin jobs even child can do. After approx 6 month I changed role and never looked back.
Firstly, if you stay in same company, there's no chance they'll increase your salary to 80-90k in 1-2 years.
Secondly, you need think about your long term career goal in 5-10 years time. If your goal is became proper project engineer or project manager, then stay in your current role isn't that bad. Once you have more experience, you may able to find a intermediate or senior project engineer role that pays 80-90k at other places. But surely they'll want to do reference check before they hire you, will you have good referee to provide by that time?
On the other hand, if your long term goal is structure engineer, then think no further, start looking for entry level structure engineer role and take starting level salary.
Personally, I will start looking actively if I where you. If your current employer have no intention to develop you to more senior roles, it's not worth staying. I know a difference of 10-20k salary seen a lot at this time of your career, but focus on 10 years down the road and the rest of your career, that's more important.
Btw your company isn't 'Resolve Group' is it? 作者: miaoqisu 时间: 2015-11-21 18:37:08
