Why we read it this way (8)
The role supports the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) CIO Directorate under a government IT O&M contract; the on-site, 24/7 nature of the work makes remote work implausible.
The required certification is specifically CCNP Cloud, though the JD's broader network troubleshooting scope (switching, routing, WAN) suggests any CCNP track would likely be acceptable — the posting names only CCNP Cloud.
Compensation is stated as '$60+ hour DOE' — a minimum hourly floor with no stated maximum; the top of the pay band is not set.
ATM and Frame Relay are listed as examples of familiarity ('etc.') alongside DNS in a 'familiarity with' clause rather than as hard gates, so they are marked preferred.
The posting is for a Tatitlek contract supporting a federal agency; the employment type is set to Contract accordingly.
Background check and pre-employment drug screening are stated conditions of employment but are not security-clearance requirements; no clearance level is specified.
The alt SOC (15-1252) was considered briefly given the 'leading the Network Engineering Team' framing, but the day-to-day work is clearly network operations and administration rather than software development.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
