Explanation:
I know the acceptable cognate is "ingeniero". Nonetheless, I have run into situations where "técnico" is best translated "engineer".

A Project Engineer is in some cases the same as a project manager. Project Engineers are considered to be Project Managers but with engineering qualifications.

Government organizations might have a Senior Project Engineer at the top of the ladder followed by Project Engineer followed by Project Manager.

In some cases a Project Engineer is responsible for assisting the assigned project manager with regard to design and scope of a project and with the execution of one or more simultaneous projects in accordance with a valid, executed contract, per company policies and procedures and work instructions for customized and standardized plants.

Context should obviate either technician or engineer.

What are the técnico's (a) qualifications? (b) duties?

If the qualifications require a high degree of experience, skill or education, "engineer" is more likely.

If their duties include extensive authority with regard to technical matters (few or no secretary or accounting-type functions), "engineer" is your best bet.
