As previous posters have said, customer-facing roles will typically require a lot of travel, and even more so in large multi-national companies. If your interest is in aerospace, then that would be a good sector to look at - you might get opportunities to get up close and personal with the aircraft!

If you really want the travel, look for job descriptions saying something like "40% travel". A word of warning - engineers aren't bankers, we don't typically fly at the front of the plane, especially not at the start, and manufacturing sites are rarely in sexy locations (i.e. New York State can be a long way from New York City...), 9 / 10 trips are soul destroying, but to be fair if you've got good colleagues to travel with and a sense of adventure the other 10% can be pretty special and make the whole thing worthwhile... Good luck!
