If the Fleet's job is to protect and explore the universe, then Engineers are the how and why the rest of the Fleet gets there. They are the monkey wrenches tasked with monitoring and maintaining both starship, the ships on their ship and anything else that crosses their paths. They often do most of the "grunt work" that is involved in keeping a ship or space station up and running from stem to stern.
With so much of modern technology distancing man and machine by data streams, they bridge the gap by bringing tools and materials into play. They patch up, tear down, strip, rework, crawl, dig and replace every blessed inch of a ship on any given day.
