Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Network Engineer IV' with no explicit seniority label, so advertised seniority is set to Unspecified; the 7+ year requirement and scope of responsibilities support a Senior classification.
SOC code is Medium confidence: the role spans both network operations/administration (15-1244) and network architecture/design (15-1241). The day-to-day emphasis on troubleshooting, deployment, and operations tips the balance toward 15-1244, with 15-1241 as the runner-up.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent networking certifications' as a substitute for a Bachelor's degree, so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard gate.
Network automation is mentioned as a responsibility ('develop automation solutions') but is not explicitly listed as a required skill with firm language, so it is marked preferred.
This is a 10-month contract with potential extension, posted through ManpowerGroup/Experis staffing.
The role is 100% onsite in Arlington, VA — no remote option.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network automation.
