  I’ve never encountered “Engr” before and don’t know where it comes from but “Eur Ing” is for Engineers in the European Federation of National Engineering Associations. You can have this title on a UK passport - well, until very recently you could. May have changed.

    That’s my guess. But I’ll say that as an engineer I can’t imagine that as a title someone would actually use when they addressed me.

      Maybe because it can be a military job? Like subs have engineers… just a wild guess.

        Ahhh ok that actually makes sense.
