Why we read it this way (7)
The posting states 'This is a fully remote position' in the Workplace Type section, but also explicitly requires the consultant to 'sit in the Garner, NC area' at the top of the posting. These are contradictory; the on-site/local presence requirement is treated as the binding constraint given the break-fix, hands-on nature of the role.
Palo Alto, Cisco (decommissioning), NSE 3, NSE 4, and ITIL are all explicitly called out as nice-to-haves or secondary skills in the posting narrative and skills list — not gating requirements.
The degree requirement is 'Associate degree in IT or related field, OR equivalent hands-on experience' — the explicit equivalency means no formal degree is hard-required.
Fortinet wireless controllers are mentioned as a required skill alongside FortiSwitch and FortiAP; these are captured under the Fortinet skill and the specific product skills separately.
The role is part-time contract (the posting explicitly says 'part-time network contractor' and 'Contract position'), which is reflected in the employment type.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): site-to-site VPN, network troubleshooting.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
