Why we read it this way (6)
This role sits at the intersection of energy program management, technical analysis, and software/application administration — it is not a pure software development or pure business-analysis role. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) was chosen as the best fit given the emphasis on implementing, maintaining, and supporting software systems (iEnergy, SaaS platforms) alongside technical analysis; 15-1299 is noted as a plausible alternative given the energy-domain specificity.
The degree requirement accepts an 'equivalent combination of education and work experience,' so no minimum degree was flagged as a hard gate.
The posting lists a hiring range of $122,373–$149,908/year (full range up to $177,442); the hiring range is reported as the offered compensation.
iEnergy is explicitly named as the primary software platform in the job summary and requirements. Salesforce is listed alongside it as an example of a similar SaaS application; both are captured, with iEnergy as the primary required tool.
Experience with online platforms/SaaS systems such as iEnergy or Salesforce is listed under the main Requirements section. Research and analysis on energy efficiency measures is explicitly called 'preferred' in the posting and is therefore not flagged as a hard gate.
The role requires on-site presence in the Fort Collins, CO area; fully remote work is not offered.
