How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $100,809 (middle half $80,298–$128,086). This posting is about at that midpoint.
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 (6)
The role is a hands-on desktop/field support technician (deskside support, hardware repair, printer troubleshooting) on a government Navy IT program — primarily operating and maintaining existing infrastructure rather than building software, which supports 15-1244 over 15-1252.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II requires Security+ at minimum; higher certifications are also accepted but Security+ is the named baseline gate.
HP Service Manager and Remedy are listed as interchangeable examples of ticket management software ('or similar'), so Remedy is captured as an alternative rather than a separate required skill.
The 'Nice to Have' section lists only soft skills and behavioral traits — no concrete named technologies — so no preferred skills were extracted from it.
Degree requirement is None: the JD accepts a HS diploma plus 4+ years of experience, and explicitly states additional education or certifications may substitute for experience.
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.
