i am not applying for the job, but i am curious as to why you made extensive knowledge of bones and character studio a requirement for an environment artist? i am wanting to get into the industry at some point in my future and am just curious if this is truly a requirement for most environment jobs. i do have basic knowledge of both bones and character studio, but nothing i would consider "excellent knowledge". however i am willing to learn more if this will be a requirement i will have to face in the future.
and once again i apologize if this is not the place for my question.

looks like this is supposed to be for an animation job...Am i wrong?

yeah, the first 3 sound like animation, and the last requirement, sounds like artist...
and the shader creation requirement, sounds like tech artist...

you might be required to create some animated environment objects (not often) . It's decent to know how to rig something anyway.

shader creation is just a nice little bonus item, it's not a must have or anything .
