The funny thing about that is, at least when I worked in the oil business, I'm not sure I've seen another industry that threw around the "engineer" with more abandon for technicians of all stripes.

I'd note that's a case where a business is representing themselves as an engineering firm and, and in some situations, it would be reasonable to expect that meant they employed licensed engineers. (The specific case is pretty silly though so is calling themselves engineers.) But individuals certainly call themselves and are called engineers all the time who aren't licensed in Texas and everyplace else.
