Engineer

"Engineer"-Connotation. The word "engineer" in Pakistan seems to continue to give the expression to layman of a highly placed officer supervising skilled and unskilled labour and doing nothing with his own hands. Such an expression is a relic of the days of extremely simple machines which could be handled by any skilled worker and moreover all occasional supervision by a qualified engineer was enough. The things now have changed with the advance of science, automation and sophistication are reverberating notes which necessitate constant attention by a qualified engineer and he is, therefore, no longer the supervisory officer of the forties when it was a white collar job.

Person besides clerical work, also required to do engineering work with his hands thereby requiring physical as well as mental toil

"Workman" as defined in S. 2(1) of Ordinance

Mere performance of supervisory functions by person otherwise covered by definition of workman-Would not operate to exclude him from definition of "workman".
