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.
