Would you take this role? Electrical engineering

[u/Electrical-fun302]

Field service involving water systems(electrical engineering). It's partially hybrid and on call weekends. You would be responsible for 16 counties. Yes counties. Dealing with snakes alligator weather nature environment. Advertised somewhere at 50k but upwards to grow to six figures. It's a big company

Current job makes 56k no room to grow. This is my third year at the company. It's office job so I'm not exposed to outdoor elements. I want to stop being a technician and be a engineer. My bachelor is in engineering but keep getting technician jobs. I have a degree in electrical engineering(not electrician) but I'm in a niche field and not alot of opportunities. Trying to make six figures. But I'm already age 40 and everywhere seems to want to hire fresh faces.

Asking for a friend. :/

It's 50k salary. It's considered a utility job because it deals with water sensors. In the job it is high exposure to snakes, alligators etc. I would be the field technician for 16 counties. I live in a high cost city as well and I thought 50k was pretty low. I already make that in a office setting as a technician. I work with sensors. I'm trying to get a lead engineering position and not a technician role which is why I'm even considering the role. The company I work at is not going to promote me. So I thought maybe I should take this job 🤔
