Why we read it this way (5)
The job title includes 'CCIE Contract' but the body of the posting lists CCNP as a preferred certification, not a hard requirement. CCIE does not appear in the qualifications or experience sections, so it is treated as preferred context from the title only.
The posting title says 'Contract' but the compensation is quoted as an annual salary range with a full benefits package described, which is more consistent with a full-time role. Employment type is flagged as Contract based on the title; hiring managers should confirm the actual engagement type.
The role is primarily operational/administrative in nature — configuring, managing, monitoring, and supporting network infrastructure — rather than building new software tooling, which is why 15-1244 is chosen over 15-1252. The alt code 15-1299 is noted given the senior/architect-level scope.
Fort Collins, CO is also listed as an acceptable work location; the Denver CBSA is used as the primary metro since it is listed first and is the company HQ.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
