Both network administrator and network engineer sounds to be the same but difference can only be based on the job description from one organization to another
The both terms are related to Network Transmission and Equipment configuration.

Network Administrator is responsible for the configuration of Network Devices like routers, switches, firewalls other equipment related to connectivity between sites.
