After graduating with BS in Civil/Structural Engineering in USA, can I live and work in another country


After graduating with BS in Civil/Structural Engineering in USA, can I live and work in another country?
I'm a citizen in Russia, and also will be a citizen in USA in 2 months. I think of working and live in Russia as a Structural Engineer after graduating in USA with Bachelor's in Civil Engineering. Is it possible? Or what do I have to do? Any advice and help please? Thank you.

Since the USA is a signatory of the Washington Accord 1989 in which signatories agree to recognize each other's qualifications, then the door is open for you to easily work as an engineer in signatory countries. The countries are: USA Korea Canada South Africa UK Australia Hong Kong Taiwan Singapore New Zealand Japan Ireland Malaysia http://www.washingtonaccord.org/Washington-Accord/signatories.cfm This list will probably increase over time. Russia currently has provisional status Organisations holding provisional status have been identified as having qualification accreditation or recognition procedures that are potentially suitable for the purposes of the Accord; those organisations are further developing those procedures with the goal of achieving signatory status in due course; qualifications accredited or recognised by organisations holding provisional status are not recognised by the signatories By the way, provisional status does not bar you from having your qualifications recognized by Russia. You will need to apply to the RAEE to have your qualifications recognized, if the provisional status has not been lifted by the time you graduate. Hope this helps.
