Amazing work to all involved. This thread will remain open and I will keep updating as people add things, if it sinks to the depths then so be it
Some information may be incorrect. Please do correct me if it's wrong!
Feel free to post any updates on Engineers or any information that you think needs adding/removing.
I plan for this to be the one stop thread for Engineers, where they are, what they offer and how to unlock them, similar to how multiple owners are updating the amazing community goals thread, permits thread and discounts thread (mine).

Do not look if you don't want locations, names and stats for Engineers! You have been warned. I advise finding Engineers for yourself, it can be quite fun. But if you want the easier way check below
