Perhaps you could look around for outfits that work to especially high standards and ask them to give you a try - sounds like they would snap up someone of your skill and experience pronto. But build a non-confrontational relationship with the foreman, so you can raise your concerns in a helpful way - they may not agree with you but that is the way it goes, and sometimes you have to swallow a little shite.

Another thing that occurs to me is that you might be the right kind of person to teach the apprentices or trainees - they might find you a bit intense but youth likes and respects 'characters'!

Then there is 'lad' or 'blokish' culture - be generous with them, young men (and many older ones are apt to be immature) but they mean well in their own way. Buy them biscuits (cookies in the American dialect I believe) or suchlike for the messroom once in a way - gestures make more difference than you might think.
