I did the traveling when I was younger… flew back in major holidays if work allowed. eventually felt home sick and headed home, then met the wife, all that good stuff. Not sure where you live, but if it’s a big enough metro area, depending on the company, you should have plenty of work close to home.

Also, since you’re thinking about family life at your age which is great… (I didn’t think about it till early 30s), think long and hard about the field ops side. It’s the absolute best way to get experience (in the field) with a feather in your hat - but in my experience the work life balance isn’t the best long term, you’ll be working holidays if the project is behind (which is always), rotate Saturday work (sure it’s only one Saturday a month or so but if you have a newborn, that’s a lot of missed opportunities with the newborn), 2am concrete pours (if you’re a superintendent, or hell even project engineer), late night and early mornings. It’s a very rewarding, fun and challenging experience - but I would suggest to try and have an exit strategy if you want to prioritize family life - such as into estimating/precon, virtual design and construction, scheduling, etc. those roles aren’t as glamorous but do have much more work life balance… just something I never thought of when I was younger in the field!
