About Telecommunications Companies in Malaysia

Malaysia's telecommunications sector is a critical infrastructure industry, anchored by four major mobile network operators and a converging range of fixed-line, broadband, and digital services providers. The sector is in the midst of significant transformation driven by 5G rollout, fibre broadband expansion, and the convergence of connectivity with digital media and financial services.

The major telco employers are Maxis Berhad, Celcom Axiata, Digi Telecommunications (now merged to form CelcomDigi), U Mobile, and Telekom Malaysia (TM). Satellite communications provider MEASAT and tower companies like edotco Group (an Axiata subsidiary) add specialist infrastructure careers to the telco talent market.

The 5G rollout — led by the government-owned Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) and transitioning to a dual network model — is creating significant demand for 5G network engineers, system integrators, and enterprise 5G solution architects across operator and vendor teams in Malaysia.

Hiring Trends at Telecommunications Companies

Highest demand roles include network engineers (5G, LTE, fibre), cybersecurity specialists, data scientists and analysts, enterprise solutions architects, and digital product managers. Customer experience roles across digital channels are growing as telcos shift from call centres to app-first service models.

Network engineers earn RM 4,000 – RM 8,000/month. IT and digital roles earn RM 4,500 – RM 10,000/month. Enterprise sales managers earn RM 6,000 – RM 12,000/month. Network architects and senior technology leaders earn RM 12,000 – RM 25,000/month.
