Why we read it this way (7)
The role blends systems administration (server ops, backup, patching, network maintenance) with systems analysis duties (requirements gathering, workflow design, RFP development, application customization), making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1244 and 15-1211. The day-to-day operational/infrastructure work is weighted slightly heavier, so 15-1244 was chosen as primary.
Location inferred as Albuquerque, NM based on references to the City of Albuquerque (City standards, City Operator's Permit, New Mexico Driver's License, and Aviation Department context).
The Aviation Department duties (VoIP, access control systems, IP camera systems) are listed as conditional ('When assigned to the Aviation Department') and are therefore marked as preferred rather than universal hard gates.
ITIL certification is explicitly stated as 'preferred' in the Additional Requirements section.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in information systems or computer science; the posting states education and experience 'may be interchangeable on a year for year basis,' but since a degree is the stated baseline, it is captured as Bachelors. Candidates substituting experience for the degree should note this flexibility.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Server administration, OS patching and upgrades, User account management.
