I just encounter a release that clearly has “Recordist” and “Recording Engineer” separately in the booklet.
I did some search here and it seems there used to be a “recorded by” credit type but now discarded.
It might refer to Tonmeister:

Alice went to the University of Surrey to study the prestigious Tonmeister degree.

University of Surrey
Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister), Recording Engineer
2015 - 2019
Hmm Thanks for the info, I can understand this might point to what this person specialized in. But I’m not sure if it’s right to guess one’s role in a specific release from one’s degree, after all it’s totally possible for someone having a Tonmeister degree to play other role in production.
It might also indicate she was second engineer since Rupert seems more experienced plus:

[…] This is usually secondary, or additional to the work done by the mix engineer. […]
In any event, the involved parties should be able to clarify her role.
FWIW, Qobuz and Tidal credit her as “Asst. Recording Engineer”
For those wondering, it’s this release:
I’ll disengage from this topic and just leave a list of what else I found/was looking at:
