Why we read it this way (4)
The job title is 'IT Project Specialist' but the role's day-to-day work is hands-on desktop/endpoint administration and deployment — not primarily project management — so it is classified as a systems/network administrator rather than a project manager occupation.
The minimum experience requirement varies by education level: 4 years with a relevant bachelor's degree, 6 years with a relevant associate's degree, or 8 years with any bachelor's degree. The 4-year floor (most favorable path) is used for the overall years minimum.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
After-hours and weekend work is noted as occasionally required.
