What this job asks for AI summary
A coordination-heavy technical leadership role supporting a large DoD IT services contract at Colorado Springs. The position initially drives an infrastructure expansion project — synchronizing network, systems, and telecom teams across concurrent build-outs — then shifts into an ongoing lifecycle and project management capacity. It suits an experienced infrastructure project manager comfortable operating in a matrixed military environment without direct supervisory authority.

Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Site Technical Lead / Project Manager' and explicitly focuses on coordination and project management rather than direct personnel management, making it a borderline case between 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) and a senior IC infrastructure role (15-1244). 11-3021 was selected because the primary day-to-day work is program/project leadership, stakeholder management, and governance across a large DoD IT enterprise.
The JD states '7 years or more of Infrastructure Project Management or Project Coordination experience' as the primary experience gate; the 'Typical Education and Experience' header separately states 'Bachelors and 9 years or more experience.' The 7-year figure is used as the overall years minimum since it is the explicit qualification requirement for this role.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as required but '4 years of additional experience in lieu of degree will be considered,' so the degree requirement is set to None per the equivalent-experience rule.
PMP, ITIL v3/v4 Foundation, and Security+ (or equivalent DoD 8570 compliance) all appear under 'Desired Skills & Certifications' and are marked preferred accordingly.
Technical proficiency in Telecomm, Networking, Server/Storage, Virtualization, and IT Security is framed as 'familiarity with' for coordination purposes — not deep hands-on expertise — but is listed under the required qualifications block and retained as required skills.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Infrastructure Project Management.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
