What kind of turbine airplane? You may not be able to log SIC time in it. In that case, you may scratch around building multi-time on empty legs at best. Will you really get to fly? If the job turns out to where you end up as a SIC in a C-90 gathering little if any flight time, well, that may not be that great.
Insurance wise in the part 135 world, you are closer to being a piston twin PIC than a turbine twin PIC. Insurance companies like you to have some multi PIC time to cover you as a turbine multi PIC under 135 ops. You will also need 200 more hours to qualify for IFR PIC under FAR 135.
I am all for you going for turbines, I just wanted to point out some things you may not have thought of. Good Luck

What kind of flying is it?***
Do they have the OP Spec for autopilot in lieu of a Second in Command? If so, it may be impossible to log any time as SIC.
Do SICs get any legs?
***(Sounds like scenic tours,if so, the rest of the above may or may not be valid questions. I know nothing of scenic ops outside of single engines)

V/S, If it was me, I would stay where I was and build some multi-engine time. Before you know it, you will have MEL PIC time, and that will get you to the NEXT level; turbine time at a regional outfit. It's a marathon, not the 100 yard dash. Hang in there. Please feel free to PM me if I can be of any assistance to you.
Blue skys to you.
