My partner was guiding me off of door two left on the aircraft and I noticed the jet bridge was going toward the wing. From my position I could not see the wing; but the bridge seemed to be moving towards it. I stopped the bridge to try to get my partner's attention; but he continued to guide it without making any adjustments to take the bridge away from the engine or wing. A short distance later he stopped my movement and gave me an indication to raise the bridge. After it had been raised; he continued to guide me back. As it was moving back I noticed it was directly over the left engine and I also noticed the engine had a scratch on top of it.
A Gate Agent reported they maneuvered the jet bridge into contact with the engine of the aircraft.
