Not sure how anyone can take PTO with a schedule like that.

 

Shouldn't be an issue at all. I know a little bit about this place, and they use stringers/interns liberally. The ME also is a former sports guy who is very willing to jump in and help out when needed. The job has been open about a month now, and he's the one doing his ME job and the SE duties both.
