ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, 2025 provisional

ONS publishes a sampling error of 16.9% for this figure and asks that anything above 10% is treated as imprecise — too few people in this region answered the survey for this occupation. The figure is shown because it is the one ONS published, but it is not firm enough to rank London against anywhere else, so this page doesn't.

ONS doesn't measure “telecoms engineer” as its own category. These figures are for the wider group “Telecoms and related network installers and repairers”, which includes this role alongside others. ONS measures telecoms and related network installers and repairers.
