Leading the workhorse Engineers is the Engineering Officer, also known as the Chief Engineer and abbreviated as the EO. They are responsible for coordinating engineering and repair efforts conducted by the department as well as functioning as an experienced and senior engineer to their subordinates, acting as a mentor and advisor to their work.

The EO is one of the most hands-on of the officer roles, often requiring as much manual labor as cognitive thinking in order to fulfill their job properly. As a result, more Engineering Officers are mustangs (senior enlisted that have graduated college) than other roles, owed in part due to the vast technical experience demanded by the role itself.

As a command role, the Engineering Officer reports to the Captain.
