Does the engineer not have to log in when he is on-site? Does the employer not have employees log in periodically to validate that their procedures are currently working? My employer does "disaster recovery" exercises at least once a year (preferably every 6 months). If we were in charge of this we could have stood up a replacement system in the time it took these folks to get their engineer logged in. And if someone said that it would have been better to be on-site, our bosses would have a confused look on their face and said something like "but the internet was working, and the actual machines doing the work aren't at their desks"
