Telecommunications Recruitment Across Network, Infrastructure and Critical Communications
Launch recruits permanent, contract and project-based telecommunications professionals across key connected areas of expertise. Our market knowledge covers established carrier and vendor environments alongside the growing application of telecommunications capability within rail, mining, utilities and other critical infrastructure sectors.
The increasing use of private wireless networks, radio systems, fibre, operational connectivity and mission-critical communications means that many telecommunications skills now have relevance across multiple industries. We help clients identify this transferable capability while accounting for the technical, safety, regulatory and operational requirements of each environment.
Wireless, Fixed & Radio Networks
We recruit specialists across wireless, fixed, radio, core, transmission, fibre and IP networks supporting public, private and mission-critical communications environments.
Our networks cover RAN, RF engineering, 4G and 5G, mobile and fixed core, optical transport, network architecture, optimisation and security. These capabilities are also becoming increasingly relevant to rail as the sector prepares for FRMCS, creating opportunities for telecommunications professionals experienced in radio access, core networks, integration and service assurance.
Roles we recruit include:
RAN Engineers, RF Engineers, Radio Engineers, Core Network Engineers, Network Architects, Transmission Engineers, Fibre and Optical Specialists, Network Security Engineers and Optimisation Engineers.
Infrastructure, SAED & Design
We connect clients with specialists who plan, design and prepare telecommunications infrastructure for deployment. Our capability covers site acquisition, environment and design, network planning, property, approvals, civil and structural requirements and deployment readiness.
These skills support carrier rollouts and infrastructure programs across metropolitan, regional and remote locations. They are also increasingly applicable within rail corridors, mine sites, utilities and other environments deploying private wireless, radio, fibre and resilient communications systems.
Roles we recruit include:
SAED Managers, Site Acquisition Specialists, Town Planners, Property Specialists, Environmental Specialists, Design Engineers, Network Designers, Solution Architects and Civil or Structural Engineers.
Project & Program Delivery

We assess candidates for their experience coordinating technical, commercial, regulatory and operational workstreams. This includes programs involving multiple vendors, network technologies, infrastructure partners and stakeholder groups.
Our project delivery networks also support communications programs within rail, mining, utilities and transport, where telecommunications delivery must integrate with broader infrastructure, systems and operational requirements.
Roles we recruit include:
Project Managers, Program Managers, Delivery Managers, Project Coordinators, PMO Specialists, Commercial Managers, Business Analysts, Change Managers and Vendor Managers.
Construction & Field Services
We recruit the field, engineering and construction professionals responsible for installing, commissioning, upgrading and maintaining telecommunications infrastructure.
Our candidate networks cover metropolitan and regional network deployment as well as remote and operational environments. This includes carrier networks, fibre rollouts, radio systems, rail corridors, utilities and resources operations requiring strong capability across safety, installation, testing and commissioning.
Many field-based telecommunications skills transfer across these sectors wherever projects involve radio, fibre, transmission, towers and network equipment.
Roles we recruit include:
Field Engineers, Telecommunications Technicians, Deployment Managers, Construction Managers, Field Supervisors, Riggers, Commissioning Engineers, Project Engineers and Installation Technicians.
Operations & Service Delivery
Launch recruits the professionals who maintain network performance, service continuity and customer outcomes after infrastructure has been deployed.
Our capability spans network operations, service assurance, incident management, technical support, optimisation, managed services and service delivery. We understand the importance of network availability and rapid incident response across carrier environments and critical communications infrastructure.
These professionals also support rail, mining, utility and transport environments where reliable communications are central to safe and continuous operations.
Roles we recruit include:
Network Operations Specialists, NOC Engineers, Service Delivery Managers, Operations Managers, Service Assurance Specialists, Network Performance Engineers, Optimisation Engineers, Technical Support Specialists and Operations Analysts.
Critical Infrastructure & Utilities
We recruit telecommunications professionals for rail, mining, utilities, transport and other critical infrastructure environments.
Private LTE and 5G networks, fibre, mission-critical radio, operational connectivity and remote communications are creating demand for capability that can extend across several industries. We assess transferable technical experience alongside project-specific requirements such as safety, security, regulation, remote delivery and integration with operational infrastructure.
Our networks support critical communications across planning, design, deployment, systems integration, operations and service assurance.
Roles we recruit include:
Critical Communications Engineers, Private Network Architects, Radio Engineers, OT Network Specialists, Systems Integration Engineers, Communications Project Managers, Network Security Specialists and Service Assurance Professionals.

"I've been working with Launch for eight years and Launch has been a trusted partner to Nokia for nearly 20 years, supporting us across a range of critical infrastructure and telecommunication initiatives. Over that time, they've really developed a deep understanding of our business, our projects and the talent that we need to succeed.
What makes Launch different is their ability to understand the telco and technology environment. They don't just understand recruitment; they really understand our industry and the connectivity within that industry."
