ASELSAN Technician Salaries 2026: Collective Agreement and Verification Status
ASELSAN has not publicly released an official, current salary scale for technician-grade staff. Most technicians working in the company’s production and maintenance units, however, are employed under union contracts, and that gives us a concrete, verifiable document for this group’s pay: the Group Collective Labor Agreement signed between Türk Metal union and MESS (Turkish Employers’ Association of Metal Industries).
Verification Status
Officially confirmed: The Türk Metal–MESS Group Collective Labor Agreement, covering September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, applied an average 28% raise to hourly wages in its first six-month period. The agreement covers ASELSAN’s unionized technician and worker staff.
Discussed in employee comments: Career forums and anonymous platforms cite specific salary ranges for technician roles, but these figures are not confirmed by the company and vary widely by experience, shift and overtime.
Unverified: Precise claims such as “a technician starts at X lira” appear nowhere in official sources. These figures rely on anonymous, forum-level claims (Class C sources).

What the Türk Metal–MESS agreement actually delivers
Negotiations that began on October 13, 2025 were settled on January 21-22, 2026. The agreement covers roughly 138,000 workers across the metal sector. For the first six-month period, the combined wage improvement plus proportional and flat increases came out to an average of 28%. As of September 1, 2025, members earning below 140 TL per hour received an improvement capped at 140 TL, after which all hourly wages were increased proportionally and a flat 17.61 TL was added on top. This agreement directly binds ASELSAN’s unionized technician and worker staff; engineers and administrative personnel fall outside its scope.
What anonymous sources say
Salary ranges shared on career sites for technician roles vary widely by region, shift system and seniority. Because these figures rely on self-reported user data, they cannot be treated as verified figures — readers should use them only as a rough reference.
