What the occupation pays Median $101,310 (middle half $79,725–$129,425).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (5)
The posting lists no overall years-of-experience requirement; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the scope of responsibilities (routine maintenance, user support, vendor collaboration) without any indication of team leadership or org-wide architectural authority.
Certifications (Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator, CompTIA Network+) are explicitly called 'a plus' and are listed as preferred accordingly. Both are captured under a single skill entry as interchangeable certification alternatives.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
'Network administration' and 'security protocols' are listed under the Requirements section but name no specific product or platform; they are retained as named skill categories because the JD uses them as explicit qualification gates rather than mere narrative context.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
