Why we read it this way (8)
An active TS/SCI clearance is an explicit hard gate — candidates without one cannot be considered.
The BA/BS degree requirement is listed alongside 'or equivalent experience', so no formal degree is hard-required.
Security+ and CASP are listed as alternatives for the certification requirement; ITIL v4 Foundations is listed as a separate certification requirement. Both sit in the requirements section.
The role title is 'Systems Administrator' with no seniority modifier, but the scope (SME designation, managing large projects with limited oversight, guiding junior staff) and 5+ years experience requirement support a Senior classification.
SMS (Systems Management Server) is the legacy predecessor to SCCM and is listed alongside it as an interchangeable alternative.
Windows 10 is listed as an alternative to Windows 11 — both are mentioned throughout the requirements section.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Desktop Image Management.
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.
