Why we read it this way (8)
The job title is 'Project Controls Database Administrator' but the role blends classic DBA operations (backups, recovery, tuning, monitoring) with data architecture work (designing schemas, ETL pipelines, data governance). 15-1242 (Database Administrators) was chosen as primary because operational DBA duties are foregrounded; 15-1243 (Database Architects) is a credible runner-up given the design and governance scope.
No work location is specified in the posting — the CBSA field is left blank. The role does not appear to be advertised as remote.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: 'Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field' appears in the required Experience section with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL are listed together as interchangeable platform examples ('e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL'); SQL Server is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Primavera P6, EcoSys, Deltek, and SAP are listed as interchangeable project controls system examples in the required section; Primavera P6 is used as the primary name.
Power BI appears in both the required section (as an integration target, 'or similar') and the Preferred section (data visualization). It is captured once as preferred, reflecting the Preferred section's framing as the stronger signal for candidate gating.
Python and PowerShell appear only under Preferred/scripting languages and are marked accordingly, even though Python is also mentioned in passing in the responsibilities narrative ('SQL, Python, etc.').
AI/ML tooling (Oracle Autonomous Database, SolarWinds DPA, Datadog, Azure ML, AWS SageMaker) is explicitly listed under Preferred Experience and is marked as such.
