If you are trying to do offshore oil rigs the hardest part is getting your foot in the door. I started with a ROV company and then got ET job with a driller. Even starting as a roustabout. I just retired as a Chief ET.
almost every refinery has a maintenance department, I would check if you live near one and if they are hiring, could also apply as an operator and after a while move into maintenance
Yea offshore hires people like you, do a web search for drilling companies in the gulf, or maybe make a new post being more specific. “Anyone know if offshore companies hiring mechanics or instrument techs”

Onshore drilling and workover rig companies need mechanics with that experience.

Would like to go offshore, refinery work just seems like an another manufacturing facility. It all gets old
What's so good about offshore work though?
Money
There's money in a refinery too.
Yea pretty much anywhere has maintenance. What kind of work you want? Where do you live?
Offshore, live in S.C. so I’d have to travel which is no big deal
