IMHO, I suggest to start locally as it will be more comfortable from a social/cultural standpoint. Working abroad, in construction or engineering environment will be most of the time challenging as everybody expect you to be an expert of your field or they will see you as another kid looking for adventures. There will be not much time or not much support for learning.

On the other hand, an international environment, touching of new cultures definitely open ones mind much more than living in the neighborhood.

I would recommend 3-5 years to gain a minimum of experience in a known location followed by the big world adventure.

All the best

You nailed it Gabriel.

As a student junior engineer Robert you will find many development opportunities and will not be expected to meet aggressive targets while learning. After few years in your career path your CV will start standing out and your experience will be valued abroad. Your personal development shall continue while working locally or abroad. 

All the very best
