For much of engineering history that I recall, that was "Standard
Operating Procedure"...
if your "engineers" were raised from Tradespersons.
Historically, there was no sharp distinction between the two. (Which is
why, in English at least, "engineer" is also the word for a locomotive
driver or the head of a ship's propulsion operators.) Only in recent
times has it been possible to be an engineer without ever getting oil on
your hands.
