Day-to-day work covers network configuration, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and technology refresh across LAN, WAN, voice, and wireless environments, alongside maintaining technical documentation and ensuring compliance with DoD security standards.

How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $95,137 (middle half $81,269–$111,744). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The role sits between Network/Systems Administration (15-1244) and Network Architecture (15-1241). The responsibilities include both design/engineering and day-to-day operations/sustainment; 15-1244 is the primary fit given the operational and maintenance emphasis, with 15-1241 as a close runner-up.
Only 2 years of experience is required, and higher education or military service may be substituted — placing this solidly at the Mid level despite the Top Secret clearance gate.
The DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification is a hard gate; the posting lists a long menu of qualifying certs. Security+ CE is listed first and is the most common path; all listed alternatives are captured in the 'alternatives' field.
A network certification (CCNA or equivalent from a named list) is also a hard gate alongside the IAT Level II cert.
Active Top Secret clearance is explicitly required — TS/SCI is not mentioned, so clearance is coded as TopSecret rather than TopSecretSci.
Degree is not hard-required; the JD states higher education or military service 'may be substituted' for experience, meaning neither a degree nor experience is an absolute gate.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): network management, DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
Requires a Top Secret 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.
