Engineers is a limited edition (3000 copies) digipak live album, released by Gary Numan's previous label, Beggars Banquet.

The album was recorded at the Capitol Theatre, Sydney, Australia on 31 May 1980.

[2] The album captures the very last concert of "The Touring Principle," Numan's 1979-80 world tour in support of his album The Pleasure Principle (1979).

While the expanded edition of Living Ornaments '79 contains a live version of one song from Numan's then-forthcoming album Telekon ("Remember I Was Vapour"), Engineers contains three ("Remind Me to Smile," "Remember I Was Vapour", and "I Die: You Die", plus "Trois Gymnopédies", a studio version of which was also recorded by Numan during the Telekon sessions).

Unlike Living Ornaments '79, Engineers contains no songs drawn from Numan's 1978 album Tubeway Army.
