In the age of modern technology, when radio and landline telephones are used less and less, they have been replaced by cellular communications, the Internet and digital television. Under these conditions, a new and very popular profession in Russia is entering the labor market - communications engineer.

It is a mistake to believe that the profession of “communication operator” has not changed with the development of technology. It is no longer enough for people working in this field of activity to simply be able to lay telephone cables, climb poles or monitor a switchboard. A modern communications designer must know the basics of design and have an understanding of software interfaces. Also, he must not only know in theory how to create and maintain telecommunication lines, but also be able to apply all this data in practice.

A little history

It is believed that the profession of “signalman” first arose with the widespread opening of telephone exchanges at the end of the 19th century. The people working for them had to ensure the construction of new lines and the smooth operation of equipment. Not only the profession of signalman, but also telephone operator appeared, for which they preferred to recruit young and educated girls.

With the discovery of 1888, wireless communication began its history. This year, a method for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic radio waves was invented. Already in 1896 A.S. Popov unveiled an experiment in which the first information was transmitted over a distance of 250 meters, and a few years later the production of the first equipment was launched.

Nowadays the communications sector has a large number of professions, one of which we will consider in more detail.

Profession training

To be able to work in the telecommunications field, you must obtain a higher education at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering. Suitable specialties, for example, would be:

• Telecommunications and communication systems.
• Radio communications and broadcasting.
• A television.

Upon admission, you must be prepared to study mathematical disciplines (mathematical analysis, programming, etc.), subjects in communication theory (engineering and computer graphics, electronics, etc.). Studying at a university allows you to find a permanent job already in the 4th-5th year, through practical training. Typically, the technical departments at these institutions work closely with large telecom companies and send their students there for internships.

Areas of work

Students who receive a diploma in the specialty “communications engineer” can easily take advantage of the opportunity to get a job, for example, in companies providing multimedia services (real-time data transmission, Internet broadcasting or video conferencing), in large factories and combines, in the business field. And of course they will be in demand in companies providing communication services (such as radio broadcasting or Internet and cellular providers). They will also be useful in the field of information technology and communications.

The possibilities for self-realization are endless for a certified specialist, since signalmen are found in a variety of sectors of the economy:

• Telephone industry.
• Telecommunications.
• Post and telegraph.
• Energy.
• Production and design of household appliances.
• Research and development.

Naturally, this list is far from complete. It is very difficult to remember a field of activity where modern technologies related to communication are not already used. Almost any area of ​​modern life is closely connected with the reception or transmission of certain information.

General features of the profession

So what does a communications engineer do? In general terms, the responsibilities look like this:

• Installation of line cable structures and equipment.
• Operation of this equipment and facilities.
• Optimization of the development of communication networks.

In general, the competence of communications engineers includes everything without which communication is impossible - from connecting the Internet and creating local networks, to conducting telephone communications and installing various equipment (for example, satellite dishes).

To work successfully in this field of activity, you must have the following personal qualities:

• Accuracy.
• Patience.
• Attentiveness.
• Creativity.
• Learning ability.

The last of these qualities is very important, since the modern pace of development of communication technologies requires constant improvement from specialists in this field.

Salary

Under current conditions, a cellular communications engineer can count on a fairly high level of remuneration. Salaries are related to the difference in demand for specialists in this field and the availability of communications engineers in the labor market. This allows people with this education to easily find a suitable and well-paid position. But no one has canceled the differentiation of wages depending on work experience and region of residence.

So, an engineer can count on a salary of 25,000 to 30,000 rubles. Employers offer this salary to applicants with a university degree and at least one year of work experience. In St. Petersburg, with the same conditions, you can expect to pay from 22 to 26 thousand rubles for work. In Kazan, Rostov-on-Don and Chelyabinsk they will offer from 13 to 15 thousand.

A higher salary level will be offered subject to at least two years of work experience and knowledge of Cisco equipment and certain types of PBX. You will also need knowledge of the English language, which is required to study technical documentation. In this case, a communications systems engineer can expect to pay up to 48,000 in Moscow, up to 40,000 in the northern capital, and up to 25,000 in other regions.

If the applicant has more than three years of work experience and has certificates of professional compliance, you can qualify for a salary in Moscow of about 70,000, in St. Petersburg - 60,000, and in Russia about 35-40 thousand rubles. Experience in management positions is highly desirable, as is the ability to create telecommunications networks from scratch.

Career Opportunities

Despite the demand for communications specialists and relatively high wage rates, this specialty cannot be classified as a profession with rapid career growth. In small companies, communications are usually handled by a very limited number of people whose positions are at the same level in the management hierarchy. Therefore, an increase in wages here is more likely to depend on an increase in work experience or advanced training, rather than on a change in position to a higher one.

In large companies, with advancement through the ranks, everything is much simpler. A huge advantage of working there is the high opportunity for career growth, both horizontally and vertically.

What do you need to know to be successful in your profession?

Of course, the required skills and abilities depend on the choice of company and the area where the work is planned, but there is certain knowledge required in any company.

In large organizations there is a division into specializations, and the required skills depend entirely on the position occupied.

As for small organizations, a communications engineer must be a generalist and carry out all the work, if not independently, then within a very limited team. This requires significant skills and abilities from a specialist.

Required skills to work in a small company

Know the software used at the station where you plan to work. It would be nice to know a few more different options for software interfaces.

Be able to find faults on the line, using, for example, a reflectometer. Extend the cable using couplings. Embroider cabinets (places where telephone cables are connected). Installation of equipment and diagnosing damage to this equipment. Good understanding of drawings and diagrams. Be able to use IP network equipment.

In any case, not only the required skills depend on the place of work, but also what the communications engineer must directly perform. Responsibilities specified in the job description typically include planning, developing and installing a telephone network, installing, configuring and maintaining equipment. They also prescribe control over the operation of devices, ensuring the quality of established communications and trouble-free operation of equipment. In addition, the communications engineer’s instructions may contain requirements regarding interaction with telecom operators. The topics of negotiations can be: the quality of services provided, tariffs used, reporting.

Who is this profession suitable for?

It is generally accepted that the profession of a signalman is more suitable for men, however, with the development of modern technologies, this profession is increasingly being chosen by representatives of the fairer sex. Thus, according to a study conducted in 2010, of all applicants for work as a communications engineer, 18% were girls. In terms of age range, jobs in the profession of “communications engineer” are more often sought by young people (up to 35 years of age) with a special higher education.
