Why we read it this way (7)
The CBSA is inferred as Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL based on the reference to Hillsborough County-style public utilities in Florida and the Florida Driver's License requirement; the exact county is not named in the posting.
The minimum qualifications accept an equivalent combination of education and experience in lieu of a bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The 3-year experience figure is the stated minimum; the role also requires 3 years with cybersecurity tools (SIEM, EDR, vulnerability scanning, web application security), which aligns with the same floor.
SCADA is the defining specialization of this role and is treated as a hard gate given the entire 'Ideal Candidate' section is built around it, even though it appears in a descriptive framing rather than a bullet-point requirements list.
MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, CIS Critical Controls, ISA standards, penetration testing, and firewalls appear in the duties/job-specifications sections rather than the minimum qualifications block, so they are marked preferred.
This position includes supervisory duties over one or more direct reports; however, the primary day-to-day work is hands-on cybersecurity/SCADA security analysis, so 15-1212 is the correct SOC rather than 11-3021.
Physical access control and CCTV camera system oversight are listed as responsibilities but are ancillary to the core cybersecurity function.
