Meet the Engineer | |
“ | Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer — that means I solve problems.
Not problems like 'What is beauty?' because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. — The Engineer on his profession
|
” |
The Engineer is a soft-spoken, amiable Texan with an interest in all things mechanical. He specializes in constructing and maintaining Buildings that provide support to his team, rather than fighting at the front lines. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that restores the health and ammo of nearby teammates, and Teleporters that quickly transport players from point A to point B.
Because the Engineer's ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy Spies, a good Engineer must keep his gear under a watchful eye and in repair with his Wrench at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic yet capable weapons, along with the assistance of his helpful hardware, make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight.
If need be, the Engineer can pick up and haul constructed buildings to redeploy them in more favorable locations.
The Engineer is voiced by Grant Goodeve.

Basic strategy
- Use the build tool to place Sentry Guns, Dispensers, and Teleporters.
- You need metal to build, repair, and upgrade your Buildings. Collect fallen weapons or remains of buildings to get more metal.
- Hit your Sentry Gun with your Wrench to upgrade it with metal. Each level adds more health and firepower.
- Build Dispensers to provide your teammates with health and ammo. They also generate metal for you to use.
- Build Teleporters to help your team reach the front line faster.
- Keep an eye out for enemy Spies attaching Sappers to your Buildings. Use your Wrench to remove Sappers.
- Pyros are good allies. They can help remove Sappers from Buildings using the Homewrecker or the Maul.
- Press E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

- The Engineer seldom removes his welding goggles. To date, the only instances in which the Engineer has his goggles off are in the Loose Canon and True Meaning comics.
- The Engineer designed and built the Sentry Gun under contract from TF Industries in 1965. The PDF manual for the game that is listed in Steam shows a blueprint and promotional guide to using the Sentry Gun.
- The Engineer's favorite equation is in fact part of the equation that governs character lighting in-game, known as Phong on the Valve Developer Community. Furthermore, the equation can be referenced in page five of Illustrative Rendering in TF2
- The first BLU team Engineer resembled Template:W, armed with a bag of blueprints instead of a PDA.
- The song the Engineer plays during Meet the Engineer is titled "More Gun". More Gun is based on "Someone Else's Song", which was originally written by Jeff Tweedy and performed by the American Country band Template:W.
- A photograph on the Engineer update page displays a young boy (presumably the Engineer) trying on his first pair of goggles, as the Engineer from Team Fortress Classic looks on proudly and pats him on the shoulder.
- A large cutout of the Engineer makes an appearance in Template:W as part of a playable stage. Additionally, his hardhat and goggles are selectable hats for the player's worms.
- The Engineer's hardhat is wearable by the Support class of Monday Night Combat.
- In Poker Night at the Inventory, an image of the Engineer's disguise mask can be seen on the lower half of the Spy Jack of Diamonds cards in the "Poker Night" and "Poker Night Alternative" decks, respectively.
- The Engineer, alongside the Pyro, Heavy, and Medic, is one of four Team Fortress 2-based Familiars in Template:W.
