Why we read it this way (6)
The role is primarily Tier I/II desktop and systems support with IT operations ownership, which maps best to Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244). However, the growing cybersecurity and compliance responsibilities (vulnerability management, NIST SP 800-171/CMMC, security baselines, audit evidence) create a genuine secondary pull toward Information Security Analysts (15-1212).
The 4–8 year experience range and scope (independent ownership of IT ops for an organization, vendor coordination, compliance work) support a Mid-level classification despite the wide salary band. The title carries no explicit seniority label.
Compliance framework experience (NIST SP 800-171, CMMC) is listed as 'highly preferred' in the requirements section — treated as preferred rather than a hard gate given that explicit qualifier.
Degree requirement: an Associate's degree is 'preferred' and a Bachelor's is 'a plus'; equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Location described as 'Central Connecticut' with local travel between nearby facilities; mapped to the Hartford-East Hartford-Middletown, CT CBSA as the most likely central CT metro.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-171.
