LOTS of requirements!
I'm curious, how much would a position like this pay (keeping in mind the
vast skill set required).

Vast requirements?
The Grand Canyon is vast...the discrepancy between the assets of myself and Bill Gates is vast, the ability to make pots, teach pottery, fire kilns and do some "mr. fixit" stuff besides is not vast. I have seen college level vacancy announcements which require the ability to do all of that plus teach 2d design, 3d design, drawing, jewelery, graphic design, drawing and art appreciation.....that is vast.
I believe that 75% pr more of the people who subscribe to this list are probably more than qualified.
