Hi Stretch
have you thought about doing a rotary wing apprenticeship. us rotary wing engineers carry out work like this all the time.
you get to go to some pretty amazing places and if you are in the right company the rewards can be good if not great. i still find the work interesting after 20 years.
the market for rotary wing engineers has been and probably always will be tight therefore job security seems to be good. I do not work for a small GA company now so i am a bit limited as to where you may start. PM me if you are interested and i will help if possible.
Best of luck.
