I wouldn't worry too much about an engineer goby eating other fish. Mine is over 3 years old and very shy. Even my smallest fish can send this 12+'' guy back into his lair.

I might be concerned about compatibility with other sand shifting gobies. Engineers move an insane amount of sand. Mine is constantly closing off old tunnels and opening new ones. I can't imagine that a goby, or goby shrimp pair would ever be able to build a home with this guy around.
 
Today I was told engineer gobies eat hermits and snails?? Online posts are mixed on this.

But yea, engineer gobies dont go for fish in your tank. The 2 that I have are very peaceful and hide in their lair all day

Not sure if Gregg is the exception to the rule, but I often see him and one of my peppermint shrimp poking their heads out of the same hole at dinner time. I also have a plethora of snails.
