You probably should post that on a Penn St. board. Gonna be a hard sell to get someone with 10 yrs experience to move to PA.

I might also add that according to that job post you will most likely require multiple people to fill all those qualifications. I would say unicorn but I design, engineer, procure and construct facilities like that (minus the wonderware/Siemens ... A-B is more common and I leave automation programming beyond supplying PID, I/O lists, and controls narrative to the professionals). And the guy designing an equipment driveshaft for distortion energy and selecting the gearbox thermal rating isn't likely to know how to get a load cell readout to interface with a SQL database for corporate's inventory control, those are done by different people with different skill sets. At best you would get a compromise in skills who is not really proficient in either discipline. AKA a project manager, hahaha.

What's the salary range and is the position permanent or project based? I know someone in the Pittsburg area that checks almost all of your boxes but those will be his first two questions.
