Patch it up (2/day)
With tools in hand, the Engineer can spend 1 hour repairing a damaged object, vehicle, or structure that is composed at least partially of wood or metal. That object regains a number of hit points equal to half of its lost hit points. An object cannot be repaired by the engineer in this way again until after it has been fully repaired to its maximum hit points.
Construction (2/day)
With tools in hand and raw materials within range, the Engineer can spend 1 hour manufacturing an object composed at least partially of wood or metal no larger than a 5-foot Cube. The object can contain moving parts such as pulleys, wheels, bolts, and levers.

Actions

Wrench
Melee Weapon Attack, one target, 5ft. reach, +5 to hit, 1d6+3 bludgeoning damage.
Arc
Ranged Weapon Attack, one target, range 30/90 ft., +2 to hit, 2d12 lightning damage.

Reaction

Overload (3/day)
When the Engineer is hit by a melee attack from a creature within 5 feet of itself, the engineer can overload their Arc Generator, causing the attacker to take 2d4 lightning damage. If the attacker is Medium or smaller it is pushed 10 feet away from the Engineer.

Notes

Engineers are always keen to inspect machinery and mechanisms of every kind, maybe even to adjust them with a wrench. They try to solve all of their problems by engineering a mechanical solution, and often struggle with social interaction, preferring instead the cold mechanical logic of their contraptions.
