The primary role for this class is defence which means sentry guns. Sentry guns at strategic points will devestate an enemy attack - the sentries should be placed in areas where they are hard to destroy with thrown/launched weapons like MIRV grenades and pipebombs and in areas that cause suprise. A level 2 sentry gun is almost certain to kill anyone who chances upon it. Of course, if they know it's there they'll make an effort to take it out the next time round. So, build sentry guns, upgrade them and keep them stocked up with ammo and armor, your teammates will thank you for it. You should also make sure you're sentry gun's pointing the right way - if it is facing the wall fast classes like scouts may be able to run right past it.

Sentries are suprisingly vulnerable though - any class can take them out either with grenades or projectile weapons if they can see the sentry but it can't see them. So, build your sentry then defend it. That is your role. Don't just leave it as it'll last about 30 seconds. Build it then stay close to it and use your grenades and super shotgun to take out any class trying to get into a good position to take it out. You'll probably find that spy's are your most annoying enemies - they can run up and drop a couple of grenades before you get the chance to take them out - annoying but you'll just have to keep a close eye out for anyone approaching your sentry.

If you have the time and inclination you can also build ammo and armor dispensers - these will only be useful if they are in areas where your teammates will find it hard to get these items though - a dispenser just outside your resupply point is little use. You can also repair teammates armor by hitting them with your spanner, though it can be a bit unnerving to be attacked by a spanner wielding maniac from your own team. Don't forget that you can also repair/rearm other engineers sentry guns - this is useful when a sentry is required quickly - an engineer builds one and while theya are running off to get more metal you can upgrade it and add ammo.

Remember too your grenades - hand grenades are powerful enough but your emps are devestating. Just avoid the temptation of becoming a spammer though - too many engies on 2fort seem to hardly be bothered about building sentries, they just run over and spam the enemy battlements, get killed, stock up on grenades and do the same again. Don't do it - it's lame and annoying.

You have one additional responsibility - your can repair team mates armor by hitting them with your wrench. If someone runs towards you and calls medic, they are likely asking you to repair their armor - you get nothing for this expect their gratitude and a warm glow inside. Also, PLEASE repair the armor of any teammates you damage doing spy checks. If possible, use you wrench for spy checks, if you can't and shoot them then that is forgiveable IF you then run up and repair their armor - you will become a right pain in the arse if you don't do this and people will get annoyed at you.
