Why we read it this way (10)
The role is titled 'Cybersecurity Network Engineer/Firewall' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the title states no level. However, the breadth and depth of requirements (ICS/OT firewall architecture, PKI design, DISA STIG hardening, ATO/ATC accreditation, Hub-and-Spoke VPN design) support a Senior-level classification.
This position is contingent upon contract award, which may affect actual start timing.
The posting is on-site at MCB Camp Lejeune / MCAS New River, NC. The Jacksonville, NC CBSA (25060) is used as the closest match.
No compensation range is stated.
No minimum years of overall experience are stated; seniority is inferred from the scope and depth of required expertise.
The professional certification requirement lists CompTIA Security+, CompTIA CASP, or CISSP as alternatives — any one satisfies the gate. ICS-VLP Certificate 100W is listed separately as a distinct required certification.
Scripting languages (Python, Bash, Java) and databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB/NoSQL) appear under the 'We will be extra impressed if you have' section and are treated as preferred. Python is listed as the primary with Bash and Java as alternatives; SQL Server is listed as the primary database with PostgreSQL and MongoDB as alternatives.
SEL certificates/training, Power BI, AutoCAD, and CompTIA Network+ also appear under the 'extra impressed' preferred section.
Advanced Microsoft Excel is listed under preferred but is omitted as it names no specific technology beyond a common office tool.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
