Hello, I am a Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in Project Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering. I am currently located in Canada but I want to move to Houston and continue my career there. What will be the best source to find a job? I have tried applying through linked in and indeed but I get seldom replies. Is there a certain job hunting website or head hunters which can help me? Any comments will be appreciated. Please help me !!

Houston is mostly oil and gas. What industry is your “extensive experience in PE &ME” in?
Houston - Oil & Gas and Aerospace (but this requires Citizenship)
Austin - Semiconductor and Consumer Electronics.
Dallas Fort-Worth - Semiconductor Aerospace and Defense (again, requires citizenship).

I have experience in production line setup and operations, lean methodology, metal machining and quality control.
I have done design work for commercial boats and planes on solidworks and autocad. Can you recommend any certifications or courses to get me foot into oil and gas industry?
I was hoping there would be some professionals working on TN visas in Houston
