"Engineer" is the core type for engineers of the built environment. "Structure" lists "Engineer" as a property to impart attribution. This is quite flexible: whether an engineer designed a Skyscraper (e.g. a Structural Engineer) or Bridge (e.g. a Civil Engineer) this type can be used (as the target property for "Structure"). You can more accurately type an Engineer with the "co-types": "Civil Engineer" or "Structural Engineer."
