Why we read it this way (7)
The job location is described only as 'on site at Government facility' with no city or metro specified; CBSA could not be determined.
The role blends network operations/administration (configuring and activating circuits, managing service orders) with some network architecture/design work (designing solutions, end-to-end connectivity engineering). 15-1244 was chosen as the primary SOC because the day-to-day work centers on operating and configuring existing DISA infrastructure; 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) is the runner-up given the design and solution-engineering elements.
Security+ CE (or equivalent) is listed under a hard 'Certification Requirements' section and is also a DoD-8570 IAT Level 2 gate, so it is treated as required. The posting notes equivalents are acceptable; common substitutes are listed in alternatives.
CCNA/CCNP, CISSP, MCSE, and ITIL appear only under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are treated as preferred.
The experience range given is 4–8 years (BS) or 2–6 years (Masters); the overall years minimum is set to 4, the lowest stated minimum. A Masters with equivalent experience is accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None.
An active DoD SECRET clearance is required; the posting also states the ability to obtain Top Secret is needed, but the hard gate is the active SECRET.
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.
