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 (7)
The posting offers two experience paths: a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) with 7+ years, or a High School/Associate's degree with 10+ years managing large DoD networks. The overall years minimum is set to 7 (the lower gate); the degree requirement is set to None because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted.
Security+ CE and SSCP are listed as interchangeable options to satisfy the DoD 8140 IAT II requirement; both are captured under a single skill with Security+ as primary and SSCP as the alternative.
No work location is specified in the posting; the CBSA is left blank. The ~25% travel requirement suggests a field-deployment component rather than a fixed single site.
The role sits between Network/Systems Administrator (15-1244) and Computer Network Architect (15-1241) — the day-to-day work includes both hands-on operations/troubleshooting and design/architecture duties. 15-1244 is chosen as primary given the operational and implementation emphasis; 15-1241 is noted as a close alternative given the design and site-survey scope.
Zero Trust is mentioned only in narrative context (collaboration with cybersecurity teams) rather than in the explicit requirements list, so it is marked as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8140 IAT II.
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.
