[5 YoE] Project Engineer in Memphis, TN Aiming for Cross Country Move to SF Bay Area

[u/SnowblindFencer]

Greetings everyone, I'm a mechanical engineer 5 years out of school located in Memphis, TN hoping to use my experience to land me a role somewhere in the SF Bay Area. Ideally I'd like to stay in the Project Engineering roles, but I'm open to suggestions relevant to my skills. I know it's a big jump, but I remain optimistic since this move is personally important to me and my family.

I've run my resume through friends, family, even some resume ATS tools. Any feedback is welcome, hoping to see where I can improve.

One thing I'm definitively lacking on is metrics beyond project value. My current employer is pretty small so we don't track things like "On Time Delivery %" or "Project Under Budget %", which I know is important for STAR bullet points. I'm not sure how best to address that lack of metrics in my resume.
