Okay, let’s tackle this. So Amit Petwe has skills like DCS, Automation, Instrumentation, and Process Automation, which are in demand. He’s based in Blue Bell, PA, which is a location with a moderate cost of living. According to national averages, automation professionals with similar skills can charge $50–$100 per hour. Considering Amit’s experience and skills, I’d estimate his rate to be on the lower end of this range, around $75 per hour.
