Values for engineer-* are inconsistent #27

Description

I can't be sure of anything when it comes to phonetics as I'm no expert, but we've found it a big peculiar that some words starting with engineer have an inconsistent first value:

engineer EH1 N JH AH0 N IH1 R
engineer's EH2 N JH AH0 N IY1 R Z
engineered EH2 N JH AH0 N IY1 R D
engineering EH1 N JH AH0 N IH1 R IH0 NG
engineers EH1 N JH AH0 N IH1 R Z
engineers' EH1 N JH AH0 N IH1 R Z

Could it be that EH2 is the more appropriate solution for all these first phonemes? Even with the secondary stress on the first phoneme, having multiple 1-phonemes does mean we have to treat words has having more than one primary stress sometimes?
