There are many opportunities for a qualified and certificated Chief Engineer to get employment on an “oil rig”.
By the term “oil rig” this includes many variants under the same generic term and these are described as follows:
Dynamically Positioned (DP) Drillships, and there is a building boom going on with many new vessels under construction if you have DP ship experience it is a big help here.
Dynamically Positioned (DP) Drilling SemiSubmersibles, and there is also a building boom going on with many new vessels under construction
Jackup Drilling rigs, and again there is a building boom going for many drilling companies and many more are in service worldwide. There are also many anchored SemiSubmersibles in service that also require engineers
