.ENGINEER Domain Extension

Why choose an .ENGINEER domain?

The difference from .engineering is simple: this one names somebody. So it is a personal address rather than a firm’s — the professional who signs, not the practice that invoices. And it has to be said plainly: the title of engineer is reserved in most jurisdictions, and professional bodies police its use. The registrar, for its part, will verify nothing at all.

The reserved title

Registration number, licence, permitted fields of practice. These are verifiable statements, and they get verified.

The person

Career, training, sectors, working languages. An address in your own name follows a whole career, through every change of employer.

The technical portfolio

Projects, the exact role held, constraints met, measured outcomes. Describing the problem rather than the brief makes the work far more legible.

The seal

Signed drawings, technical opinions, compliance statements. This is what the client actually buys, and it carries liability.

Being found

Availability, the work you want, short contracts. In a market short of people, being findable beats being on the market.

What it actually changes

• It names the person. That is what separates it from .engineering, which names the discipline and suits a firm better.
• The title is reserved. The fourth case in the catalogue, with “doctor”, “engineering” and “university”.
• No registration restrictions. The registrar checks nothing — your professional body governs what you write.
• It works as an email address too. firstname@surname.engineer follows your career whoever employs you.
