“ | 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
|
” |
A soft-spoken, amiable Texan with a knack for all things mechanical, the Engineer (real name Dell Conagher) chooses to build and maintain Buildings that benefit the team rather than engage in much direct combat. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that replenishes the health and ammo of nearby teammates and Teleporters that quickly transport his teammates to the fray.
However, 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 good repair at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic, yet capable weapons combined with the assistance of his helpful hardware make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight.
The Engineer is also capable of hauling buildings he has already constructed and re-deploying them in new locations, at the cost of a lower footspeed while carrying them. Buildings are also vulnerable during the hauling process, as they will be destroyed if the Engineer is killed. Buildings also need some time to redeploy after being hauled.

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 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.

Trivia
- The Engineer is the shortest class in the game.
- The Engineer rarely removes his welding goggles. In fact the only official time his naked eyes were revealed was in the "Loose Canon" comic.
- 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 drinks 'BLU Streak' brand beer, as seen in Meet the Engineer.
- The Engineer's favorite equation is in fact part of the equation that governs character lighting in-game.
- The BLU Engineer's name appears to be Dell Conagher. The name was revealed in the "Loose Canon" comic, along with his grandfather's name, Radigan Conagher.
- Radigan Conagher's uniform bears a striking resemblance to the Engineer's, complete with goggles, hardhat and dungarees suitably styled to fit in with the time of his appearance (1890).
![](/w/images/thumb/a/a0/Frontier_Justice_Mac_Reveal.jpg/200px-Frontier_Justice_Mac_Reveal.jpg)
- The Engineer's grandfather built three life-extending machines: one for Blutarch Mann (CEO of Builders League United), one for Redmond Mann (CEO of Reliable Excavation Demolition), and one for a currently unidentified person (their name on the list of patrons is obscured). [1]
- The Engineer's equivalent in the original team of mercenaries BLU hired was supposedly Nikola Tesla, armed with a bag of blueprints instead of a PDA.
- The Engineer is the only class whose default primary weapon, the Shotgun, is not unique to its class.
- The Engineer and Spy are the only two classes to use the PDA slots.
- The Engineer is the only class to get new weapon before his initial update: the Lugermorph and the Golden Wrench.
- The Engineer is the only class to possess two fatal taunts: his Dischord and Organ Grinder taunts.
- In the trailer for the Mac update, the Engineer is seen holding the Frontier Justice, long before it was officialy released.
- The Engineer is voiced by Grant Goodeve.
- By playing the guitar, the Engineer is the only class thus far to have displayed any real musical talent (if the Soldier's bugle, the Heavy's singing, the Medic's air-violin, and the Pyro's air-guitar skills are all ignored).
- The song the Engineer plays during Meet the Engineer is titled 'More Gun', which is based on Someone Else's Song and was originally written by Jeff Tweedy of the American Country band Wilco.
- The Engineer appeared on the cover of The Teufort Times for his part in the creation of crafting.
- The Soldier calls the Engineer a "cowardin' Canadian" in his domination lines, which may add suspicion towards the Engineer's Texan heritage. He also accuses the Engineer of being a 'Draft-dodger': Americans who did not want to enlist moved to Canada to avoid being drafted. However, the Engineer may in turn call a dominated Soldier a "damn Yankee". This may either add further suspicion to his true American roots, or instead may simply be animosity of a resident of a former Confederate state towards one of a Union state. If this is the case, it may be a clue as to where the Soldier precisely comes from.
- 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. If the child is indeed the Engineer, it can be implied that the Engineer from Team Fortress Classic is in fact his father. If the photo is confirmed as canon, this would mean that the events of Team Fortress Classic might be set between the beginning of the century and the World Wars. This is unlikely however, as most of TFC's design is much more futuristic than TF2's.
- The Engineer was the last class of the 9 to receive his own Class specific update.
- If counting the Promotional and Event weapons, the Engineer has the most weapons in the game.
