There are specialty agencies for engineers like aerotek.com that will help with international placements. I'm unaffiliated with the firm, but they were legitimate at one time. Note your PE ticket is regional, and will constrain where you can be employed in such roles. Fine if you drop anchor in a city works-yard or utility, but not really a lot of vertical movement in such roles. Journeyman/Journey-person certification is usually quicker, and with a practical factory background will keep you busy. Note in some regions the requirements for either cert path can vary a lot. Best of luck =)
