Explanation:
There must be a typo. 'mengusai' should be ''menguasai' which is in English, 'master' or 'command'.

You are correct. A preposition 'di' must not be added in the sentence. Your translation is okay.

to have knowledge or information concerning


Explanation:
Kata lain dari frasa yang saya ajukan adalah to know (Lihat Ref.)

Tapi saya lebih cenderung menggunakan frasa to have knowledge or information concerning karena:
Pertama: Seseorang yang memiliki jabatan tertentu seharusnya memiliki pengetahuan atau informasi tentang jabatan yang diembannya.
Kedua: Frasa ini bermakna lebih sempit.
