Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Telecommunications Engineers who design the connectivity layer of mission-critical facilities — campus fiber backbone, OSP/ISP pathways, data hall cabling architecture, and DAS/wireless coverage. RCDD/BICSI credentials, TIA-942 depth, and construction-phase support verified before you see a resume.
A structured process for the telecom hire — where pathway planning, fiber architecture, and standards discipline decide whether the network layer lands on schedule.
30-minute call. Align on scope (OSP, ISP, DAS, data hall), RCDD requirement, sector, deliverable standards, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Telecommunications Engineers with sector-matched design history. Credentials verified and references from prior ICT leads included.
Interview, select, and make the offer with market comp data in hand. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee — on every engagement model.
Every candidate has designed telecom infrastructure for facilities where the network is the product — hyperscale campuses, hospitals, fabs — not just tenant fit-outs.
RCDD, DCDC, and BICSI credentials verified at the source; TIA-942, 568, and 758 working fluency probed in interview.
Reference-verified submittal review, RFI turnaround, and field support through testing and turnover — where telecom scopes usually slip.
RCDD, DCDC, OSP, or PE status verified; BICSI standards fluency probed live.
Outside-plant routing, duct bank and maintenance-hole design, and inside-plant pathway planning.
Single-mode backbone design, splice and patch architecture, and DWDM/dark-fiber fundamentals.
DAS design for coverage-mandated buildings, public-safety radio (ERRCS), and Wi-Fi pathway support.
TIA-942/568/758, drawing and spec quality in AutoCAD or Revit, and basis-of-design writing.
OTDR/certification test-plan literacy, punch discipline, and as-built and labeling standards.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — OSP vs. ISP weighting, RCDD requirement, sector.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–5 weeks. RCDD-credentialed engineers with hyperscale campus experience are a tight market — we keep a live bench.
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.
In the US market, telecom engineers typically earn $90,000–$130,000 base; senior and RCDD-credentialed engineers $125,000–$160,000; hyperscale campus specialists trend higher. Ranges shift by metro.
Only when the seat does. Design-lead and standards-owner roles usually warrant the RCDD; production design and field-support seats can be filled by strong engineers on the credential track.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee, on every engagement model — search, embedded, or RPO. If the hire does not stick, we replace them.
Yes. Multi-hire ICT builds — telecom engineers, cabling designers, ICT engineers — route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the Telecommunications Engineer role, scope mix, credential requirements, and deliverables — then start sourcing.
