Finding Engineers

[150147]

I am on a mission to find and deliver 2 Station Engineers to a Station.
I have followed the mission guidance to a station but can not find any engineers using the "where can a find" request. Plenty of crewmen, pilots, marines, traders, managers but no engineers. Also tried other stations but no success.
Can anybody help with guidance?

Engineers are crewman as far as I know

I wondered if that might be the case but I hired two crewmen and the mission guidance is still telling me that I need to find 2 Station Engineers.

The "find" part is essentially: Do you have among all your staff individuals that have the requested skills?
(If you don't then hire some, from anywhere.)

The "deliver" is easy in current game: just tell the chosen crew to "Work elsewhere" and select the destination station.

Please help me more.
I have hired a crewman and I am at the delivery station.
How do I instruct the crewman to work elsewhere?

You need to go to comms with them then there is the option to "Transfer Crewmember" . They need to be on the ship that you have docked on the station as well.
Go to your ship's crew menu, right click on the service crew > comms > transfer.

If you scroll the mission description down a bit they are usually required to have 1 Morale as well as Engineering skills. So if the Transfer Crewmember is greyed out they usually don't have enough Morale.

Thanks Sir Connery,
Interface is not intuitive.

Tell me about it... Though the new upcoming 5.0 map is much improved for general gameplay.

It's not "Transfer". The option is 'Work somewhere else.' Then you choose the station (now flashing yellow) as the destination.

The faction of grammar nazis have been buffed too much since last patch.

Nothing to do with 'grammar'. Just don't want to get new players confused by looking for something that's not there.
