In the U.S., the average salary for working with SCCM is currently $68,537 per year. One major ‘perk’ to becoming an SCCM is that you don’t necessarily have to go to college and spend four years studying and spending thousands of dollars. While some employers do require either an associate’s or bachelor’s degree, it isn’t always needed and they will often look at other factors to determine if you are the best person for the job (as well as the salary you should earn). 

Typically, SCCM engineers get hired based on skills and experience. However, Microsoft offers certification courses to work in SCCM. While they aren’t required if you already have a lot of expertise in the area, certification directly from Microsoft can look great on a resume when you’re job hunting. 

You can also use Field Engineer to find SCCM jobs near you, if you’re thinking about becoming a freelancer or using your skills to settle into a contract position. As a freelance SCCM engineer, the amount of income you can earn depends on how many clients and jobs you’re willing to take on, so the sky is truly the limit if you have the necessary skills.
