Engineering team with precise, great work (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

masterpiece

'great work' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'engineering team with precise' is the wordplay.
'engineering' indicates anagramming the letters (letters manipulated or engineered).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'team' put after 'precise' is 'preciseteam'.
'preciseteam' is an anagram of 'MASTERPIECE'.

(Other definitions for masterpiece that I've seen before include "outstanding achievement" , "Great work" , "Outstanding artwork" , "Work of extreme skill" , "Superb work of art" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
