Okay, I gave you bad advice. Here's some good advice. These things will get your rater, your senior rater, and his rater yelled at and/or questioned during monthly USR meetings. If you know what they are, you can anticipate roadblocks and problems, take care of them, and make everyone's life a little easier.

1. Personnel. Manage your time so that your joes can go to their appointments. Have a tracker so you can forecast when they will go red on simple things like hearing, HIV testing, dental, etc. Your Battalion Commander will be asking your Company Commander by name why SPC Smith is MRC4. Your Brigade Commander might ask either of those two the same question.
2. Equipment. Know your equipment. Does it work? Are you using something in place of something else? (ILO) What is your explanation for that? If you are missing something, is it on order? When will it come in? Don't make your commander figure all that out. He/she has a lot of other things to do. Work with the XO on this.
3. Maintenance/Pacing Items. As an Engineer, you will probably have pacers, whether that's Bradleys, bridging equipment, or dozers. Your boss's boss's boss's boss (allll the way up to Headquarters, Department of the Army, really) will know if 2LT u/voodoo_mama_juju1123's D7 Dozer is down and why. So spend time in the motorpool, make sure your joes are conducting all PMCS properly, and work with your FMT/FSC to make sure you are on top of CL IX orders.
4. Training. Don't make your commander pull teeth to get you to train on your METs. Understand what your company and platoon METs are. Work with your PSG and SLs to make a robust quarterly training plan so you don't look like a fool in company training meetings and, more importantly, so you get your joes the best chance to survive and thrive if they actually have to do their jobs.

If you are mindful of these four categories and anticipate problems before they happen, you'll do great things.
