Whether it's abbreviated to 'Eng.' I'm not sure. I haven't seen it abbreviated but it could well exist.

Mr. XX
Unless you know for certain that the individual is, in fact, an engineer (as the term is construed in English), I would omit it entirely and just go with Mr. [Name].
It is very common in much of Latin America for persons with college degrees in any scientific or technical field (even business administration) to use this title. In fact, there is someone who works with me who is frequently referred to as "ingeniero" and he is not an engineer of any sort (he has a bachelor's degree in business administration and is a company executive).
