Why we read it this way (7)
The job title 'Network Engineer III' maps to a Senior-level role; the requirements (5+ years, third-tier support, guidance of junior staff, minimal supervision needed) are consistent with Senior.
No specific work location is stated in the posting beyond CONUS/OCONUS travel; the CBSA could not be determined. CACI is headquartered in Reston, VA, but this posting does not specify a site.
A Bachelor's degree in a related field is listed as required, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience in lieu of a degree,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
DoD 8570.01-M / 8140.01 IAT II certification is listed as a hard requirement. This is a compliance credential, not a technology skill, but it is a genuine gate for this role.
The alternative occupation code runner-up (15-1252) was considered because the role includes design, architecture, and integration work, but the primary day-to-day duties — operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting network infrastructure — align more closely with 15-1244.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570/8140 IAT II.
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.
