You can reach the upper right by swimming right and then climbing up the center pipes. But the steam keeps you from reaching the engineer. There are 4 steam pipes that run from one side of the boiler room to the other. The engineer will talk you through the first one (green) by closing one valve and then quickly crossing to shut the other before the steam pressure (moving color line) reaches there.
The three lines are:
Blue : turn the blue wheel at middle right and then the blue wheel at lower left
Orange : the wheel at bottom right and then at middle left
Red : the wheel at bottom left and then at middle left
