U aprilu 1971. počeo je da radi kao inženjer za signalno sigurnosne uređaje državne železnice u Skoplju. Alcatel-u se pridružio na početku njegovog prisustva u Jugoslaviji, a u junu 1991. postao je upravnik Obrazovnog centra Alcatel-Pupin Jugoslavija.
Blažo Mirčevski dao je značajan doprinos razvoju domaćih telekomunikacija, posebno digitalnih komutacionih sistema, kao i obrazovanju stručnjaka u ovoj oblasti. Njegovih 51 godina života i 27 godina rada iznedrilo je 13 generacija diplomiranih tehničara za telekomunikacije, mnogo mladih kompjuterskih stručnjaka i više komutacionih sistema uspešno integrisanih u telefonski sistem zemlje. Stalno je ulagao u mlađe kolege, pomažući im da steknu profesionalno samopouzdanje, da samostalno obavljaju istraživanja i da implementiraju, pišu i promovišu svoje ideje i projekte.
Blažo Mirčevski je autor više naučnih i stručnih radova objavljenih u zbornicima skupova ETRAN, IUINFO i TELFOR. Bio je aktivan u oblasti arhitekture komutacionih sistema ATM, posebno Alcatel sistema. Pisao je udžbenike za srednje škole, knjige za profesionalce u oblasti komutacionih sistema i popularno-naučne publikacije koje su digitalne sisteme i računare učinile dostupnim velikoj zajednici korisnika.
