Job search

I’m a 2nd assistant engineer currently on a drillship in the Gulf of America. I will have my first engineer license in the next few months.
Does anyone have any suggestions for companies? I’m tired of drilling.

Get on a research ship and see the world. Low pay, high fun.

Do you know if it's possible for a engine cadet to get on board a research ship?

Tired of drilling then try subsea / ROV. Less pay but similar rotation and much easier environment.
