Consider branching out or working with a small, local consulting firm. If you are willing to work weekends, they would be able to utilize processing for simulations (FEA, CFD) efficiently. That said, not everyone is proficient at those. You can also take on CAD work.
If you are placed in a location with 24x7 operations , you can leverage that. Oil and gas is always producing and there’s 24x7 engineers on call for certain activities (drilling, facility, production)
I was thinking the same thing; a lot of places function 24/7/365 especially if you take different time zone into account. It can also be really difficult to find people willing to work weekends, so that might actually be one of your biggest selling points
This might have already occurred to you but have you considered freelancing? A lot of companies need people with engineering proficiency but they don't need them every day, so they just go out and hire one for the short term when there is a special project and they need a consultant.
