Manipulate technician (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

engineer

I believe this is a double definition.

'manipulate' is the first definition.
(engineer can mean to plan or manipulate)

'technician' is the second definition.
(engineer can mean a technician)

(Other definitions for engineer that I've seen before include "Designer of machines etc" , "Train driver, say" , "Deviser" , "Machine designer, maker or operator" , "Operator of a railway locomotive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
