How It Works

Hire ICT Engineers in 3 steps

A structured process for the ICT hire — where systems breadth and integration judgment decide whether the technology scope lands as one system or a pile of vendor islands.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. Align on systems mix (cabling, security, AV, wireless, MEP interfaces), sector, deliverable standards, and start date.

Step 02

Review talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 ICT Engineers with sector-matched systems breadth. Credentials verified and references from prior technology leads included.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Interview, select, and make the offer with market comp data in hand. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee — on every engagement model.

Why iRecruit.co

What makes our ICT Engineer shortlist different

Breadth across systems

Every candidate has designed across the ICT stack — cabling, network rooms, security, AV, wireless — not just one vendor silo with an engineer title.

Integration judgment

Reference-verified ability to make security, AV, network, and building systems talk — and to arbitrate between vendors, IT, and the design team.

Owner-handover discipline

Reference-verified testing, documentation, and turnover behavior — labeling, as-builts, and O&M packages the facilities team can actually run on.

Vetting Criteria

What we verify on every ICT Engineer

Standards fluency

BICSI/TIA framework fluency; RCDD or DCDC verified where the seat warrants it.

Network + room design

MDF/IDF and meet-me room layout, pathway and rack planning, and power/cooling coordination.

Security integration

Access control, video surveillance, and intrusion systems; Lenel, Genetec, or CCURE exposure.

AV + wireless

AV systems design, Wi-Fi and DAS pathway coordination, and low-voltage device planning.

MEP + design coordination

Revit/AutoCAD deliverables, clash participation, and coordination with electrical and mechanical.

Testing + turnover

Certification testing, commissioning support, labeling standards, and O&M documentation quality.

FAQ

Hiring an ICT Engineer

How long does it take to hire an ICT Engineer?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–5 weeks. Engineers with genuine breadth across cabling, security, and AV are scarcer than single-system specialists.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on the engagement model. A single hire typically runs through recruiting support; leadership roles through executive search; multi-hire ICT programs through embedded recruiting or RPO. We scope the model on the first call.

What does an ICT Engineer earn in 2026?

In the US market, ICT engineers typically earn $90,000–$135,000 base; senior engineers and technology leads $130,000–$165,000; data center and healthcare specialists trend to the top. Ranges shift by metro.

How is an ICT Engineer different from a Telecommunications Engineer?

The Telecommunications Engineer goes deep on transport — fiber, OSP, DAS. The ICT Engineer goes broad across the technology stack: cabling plus security, AV, wireless, and the network rooms that host them. Many projects need one of each.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, on every engagement model — search, embedded, or RPO. If the hire does not stick, we replace them.

Can you build a full technology team?

Yes. Multi-hire technology builds — ICT engineers, telecom engineers, LV designers — route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
