When I worked in Building Services our trade were known as commissioning engineers. We set up air conditioning, exhaust, heating and cooling systems to name the most common.What annoys me is when they send a guy around to fix, say for eg, the door on your fridge (because even though it's only a few weeks old it's already fallen off) and they call the guy 'an engineer'.
When working in the Middle East I was berated for having engineer in my title when I had no degree. I pointed out to the guy haranguing me that it was the design engineers with the degrees who messed everything up and it was my trade that people relied on to put it all right and make it work.
