Why we read it this way (9)
The posting title reads 'Specialist, Network/Helpdesk Engineer' but the body describes a Windows System Administrator / Network Planning Engineer role — the day-to-day work is primarily operating and maintaining Windows/Linux server and workstation infrastructure, which maps to 15-1244. A secondary classification of 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is plausible given the heavy STIG/IAVA/RMF compliance workload, but infrastructure operations is the primary function.
Clearance requirement: the posting explicitly states 'Must have a Top Secret clearance with eligibility to SCI' — this is a hard gate.
Security+ is listed in the qualifications block alongside the clearance requirement ('Sec+ required'), making it a hard gate.
Degree requirement: the JD accepts a Graduate Degree with 0–2 years OR a Bachelor's with 2 years OR 'in lieu of a degree, minimum of 3 years of prior networking troubleshooting experience' — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, the degree requirement is set to None.
The overall years minimum is set to 2, reflecting the minimum stated experience path (Bachelor's + 2 years). The 'in lieu of degree' path requires 3 years, but 2 years is the lower bound when a degree is held.
'Minimum of 1 year of experience as a Windows System Administrator' appears under 'Preferred Additional Skills' — captured as preferred with the years demanded of 1.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Windows System Administration.
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.
