British engineer with chisel working for architect (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brunelleschi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'architect' is the definition.
(I know that Brunelleschi is a architect)

'british engineer with chisel working' is the wordplay.
'british engineer' becomes 'brunel' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'british' bit.).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'working' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chisel' with letters rearranged gives 'leschi'.
'brunel'+'leschi'='BRUNELLESCHI'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for brunelleschi that I've seen is " architect?".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
