Prefer a step-by-step guide?
A practical guide to starting as a network engineer in the UK — networking fundamentals, key certifications (Cisco/CompTIA), and how to move towards job placement support.
What network engineers earn in the UK
The National Careers Service network engineer profile lists a starter-to-experienced range of £25,500 to £52,000 a year, checked 9 September 2026. Its network manager profile, the usual next step, lists £30,000 to £70,000.
These are published ranges for the role, not a typical salary and not a promise of graduate earnings. With no prior experience your first role sits at the bottom of the band, and the higher figures reflect several years of hands-on experience. Certification improves your chances of being considered for a role. It does not on its own set your pay.
