Why we read it this way (7)
The clearance requirement is stated as an 'active DoD security clearance' without specifying the level (Secret, Top Secret, etc.). Secret is assumed as the minimum common DoD clearance gate; candidates should verify the actual level required.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends network administration/operations (15-1244) with network architecture and design (15-1241). The emphasis on integration, testing, and hands-on configuration leans toward 15-1244, but the design and modernization duties are a genuine signal for 15-1241.
CompTIA Security+ appears under a distinct 'Required Qualifications' heading and is treated as a hard gate, separate from the general networking experience requirements.
The extensive Layer 2–4 protocol list (OSPF, BGP, MPLS, VPLS, VRF, etc.) appears in the General Requirements section and is treated as required. These are listed as individual named technologies rather than collapsed into a single skill.
Cisco certification (CCNA/CCNP) and CANES familiarity appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
'Piers' in the posting ('Familiarity with Piers') appears to be a typo or proprietary system name; it was omitted as it cannot be mapped to a known, canonical technology.
Requires a 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.
