Day-to-day work spans firewall and VPN management, OT cybersecurity (including NERC CIP compliance), network segmentation, and documentation of complex legacy environments.

Why we read it this way (6)
The role sits at the boundary between network/systems administration (15-1244) and information security analysis (15-1212). The primary day-to-day work — designing, configuring, and maintaining OT/ICS network infrastructure, VPNs, firewalls, and remote-site connectivity — aligns more closely with network administration (15-1244), but the strong NERC CIP, cybersecurity, and access-control emphasis makes 15-1212 a credible runner-up.
The industrial communication protocols (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, DNP3) are listed under Key Responsibilities rather than a formal Required Qualifications section. They are included as required because the role is explicitly built around configuring and supporting these protocols, and the JD frames them as core job duties rather than optional extras.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent professional experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The preferred certifications (Fortinet NSE, CCNA, CCNP, PCNSE, Azure Administrator Associate, GICSP, ISA/IEC 62443) are listed under a 'Preferred Certifications' heading and are therefore marked as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): firewall administration.
