An engineer is who signs off on a project. So if anything ever goes wrong. Bridge collapses, etc. They go right to who’s name is on the stamp.
It’s a position that stands between pure profit and duty to the people. You value the public more than your employer. Gotta make sure it’s safe and up to standards… Whatever it is…
Sometimes contractors and others will try to deviate from the engineers plans in order to cut costs but the engineer still takes the blame.
