Look at the delivery for the team with and without the engineer. Look into the specifics of how he/she has contributed. Someone might be very good as an individual, but might be detrimental to a team, while some other cannot be effective on their own. Both needs to be addressed.

I'm going to pull from Verus Global curriculum again, as they're a partner we leverage for cultural training/transformation tools. They have a concept called the Best Ever Principle. I think it would be helpful for this.

Here's a video that reviews it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UilUI_Fw8gc

Basically it's about showing up as the best version of yourself whenever possible. I think the way you facilitate this is through a team workshop. Most people don't respond well when approached individually about how they're showing up (at least not initially). You could organize a team workshop that talks through the toughest scenarios and asks "how can we show up best in this moment?"
