Starting salary, and that's for the National Ops teams. Who mainly do installs and very basic repairs. That new National Ops pay grade was brought in so that OR could reduce its reliance on contractors for installs, which it has done.

Most Openreach engineers tha you see are on the BT B2 grade which starts at about £24k and maxes out at roughly £29k after 5 years. There's no bonuses or anything like that. Of course you then get overtime on top of that so most OR engineers will be on a good bit more than £30k as end of day overtime is unavoidable and some choose to work Sundays. Or occasionally are forced to work Sundays due to workload, but at least it is paid a lot a good rate.
