Rig work
My husand recently left the Navy after 23 years as an Air Engineering Technician (electrical discipline) - he has a wealth of experience including helicopter repairs, maintenance and in-flight diagnosis; he also trained in fire fighting, helicopter underwater escape and was experienced in helicopter deck operations for several years; he is now a qualified electrician and CHP engineer.
This is just a part of his experience, but a good overview. He would like to work on oil/gas rigs, but it does seem a difficult area to get into - a bit of a closed-shop, maybe. Any advice as to where to apply or how to get into this field?
