location, place
Explanation:
Right, in the light of that very important extra context, this does seem rather to clinch it.

Note that even as a location or place, 'site' might have more than one meaning: some large companies may operate from several different locations — for example, office HQ, production site, regional distribution depots, etc. These would be referred to as 'sites' belonging to this company.

However, it might also be referring to customer sites — depending on what activity this is, and what sector they're in, they might have engineers assigned to specific customer premises.
I think what they must be referring to here is the association within their IS of one particular engineer with one particular location.

In IT, a physical site (as included in an IS, for example) can be 'modified' by the 'value' of other variables — and some of these might be indirectly derived from other 'objects' (cf. the kind of errors you get in Excel with 'value not found' etc.)

Explanation:
The following could hardly refer to a place:
"One of the value with which the site is modified depends on an object which does not exist"

"Value", should of course, be "values".

It could be an intranet site, rather than a website.
