>"understanding the engineer sector intimately" sounds like it is actually NOT an engineering position.

This particular language was for describing the company as a whole, rather than a position.

To me, this phrasing sounds like the firm differentiates itself based on having a better understanding of its customers, which is a useful thing for consultancies.

You are right, I read it and went back and took a quote from the wrong place after getting a bad impression from the entire section. Consider this though,

Proficient oral and written communications skills. Collaborates well in a team environment. Sensitive to clients’ needs, can develop warm client relationships

Does that sound like a qualification for an engineer? I suppose it could but I am used to engineering qualifications being specifically about engineering, if I had to guess, I would assume this was a sales job or sales oriented and would not apply.

I still hold that I shouldn't have to filter all the language I use to be nontoxic to women. I am not a woman, so I cannot judge what is toxic to them and would prefer to function as normal.
