ROKETSAN Technician Salaries 2026: Collective Agreement and Verification Status
ROKETSAN has not published an official, current salary scale for technician-grade staff. A significant share of technicians in the company’s production, assembly and testing units are employed under union contracts, which gives us a concrete document governing this group’s pay: the Group Collective Labor Agreement signed between the Türk Metal union and MESS.
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 ROKETSAN’s unionized technician and worker staff.
Discussed in employee comments: Career forums cite specific salary ranges for technician roles, but these are not confirmed by the company and vary by shift, seniority and overtime.
Unverified: Precise claims such as “a technician starts at X lira” appear nowhere in official sources and 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, covering roughly 138,000 workers across the metal sector. For the first six-month period, the combined wage improvement plus proportional and flat increases averaged 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 rose proportionally and a flat 17.61 TL was added on top. This agreement directly binds ROKETSAN’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 and shift system. Because these figures rely on self-reported user data, they cannot be treated as verified — readers should use them only as a rough reference.
