We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The SOC classification is uncertain: this role is primarily a physical cable infrastructure technician/engineer, which does not map cleanly to any standard computer/IT SOC. 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) is the closest available code, but the day-to-day work is hands-on cabling installation rather than systems administration. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as an alternative.
The experience requirement is tiered by education: 8 years with a high school diploma, 6 years with an associate's degree, or 4 years with a bachelor's degree. The minimum (4 years) is used for the overall years minimum; no degree is hard-required since the role accepts a high school diploma with sufficient experience.
The posting does not explicitly state a security clearance requirement, though the role is on a military contract at Fort Carson and candidates must be comfortable in military-secured environments. Candidates should expect a clearance may be required or initiated — the posting does not gate on one.
All preferred certifications (BICSI, CFOT, OSP, OSHA 10/30, manufacturer-specific) appear under the 'Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills' section and are treated as preferred.
Manufacturer-specific certifications (Corning, Panduit, CommScope, Leviton) are mentioned as preferred but name no single canonical tool; they are omitted from the skills list as they do not resolve to a single named technology.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cable termination and testing, patch panel cross-connects, BICSI Installer 2 Copper.
