Personal preferences and opinions here so keep that in mind.
Looking at the fit posted by Nerdz Rool.
Never been a fan of MJD for a full clear Golem they are not needed. Better to use that slot to build in a little more tank and simply shoot things while you move from warp in point to the next gate, you usually get there about the same time you finish killing all the things. On the other hand if you are paranoid about gankers then it is a good option.
Have not used a target painter since the Missile Guidance computers came out. On paper and at close ranges the TP are technically better, in the mission pockets of EvE and accounting for optimal range and fall off issues with the painters especiaslly at the longer ranges possible with cruise missiles the MGC work just as well overall and they require no real attention from the pilot.
Never did like using a rig slot for tank on any PvE ship, better to use that slot for something that helps against all NPC because you never know what the mission gods will give you.
Here is an optional fit to consider.

Notes for this fit.
Change hardeners as needed for each mission.
Change missiles as needed for each mission.
Always carry T2 Precision missiles with you they are extremely useful against cruiser size and smaller ships.
Drones to suit your needs / wants - Since your friend will be handling the salvage duties I suggest lights only for use against the frigates.
I prefer rig cats in the rigs, cruise missiles have a large explosion radius and low explosion velocity in relative terms and the rigors help deal with that. You do trade off higher damage against larger targets to get that, for a full clear ship I found them to wok out better because most of the ships you will be shooting are the smaller variety.
On to other things.
The Rattlesnake is a viable option here, despite the comment above the Rattle can and will appply DPS extremely well, especially if you remember to use the right size drones for the target you are shooting at the moment. Don’t forget sentry drones they are a huge part of the arsenal for any PvE Rattle.
Auto canon fit Vargur would be an excellent option as well. Instant application of damage because turrets, they can still hit small NPC with devastating effect outside 30k or so and those small things that get in close simply use drones to deal with them while you shoot away at the larger things and the stuff farther out.
