Seperation from Company and Engineer's Seal
Seperation from Company and Engineer's Seal
(OP)
I was curious how it works if an engineer leaves or was fired (and if there are differences) from an engineering firm. What the extent of their sealed documents are? I would assume anything that they had signed and sealed assuming there was no changes made are still under their name. Does it matter if these documents have not yet made it to the jurisdiction and been approved? I would assume that if there are any requests made the documents would need to be revised and sealed by a new engineer of the company would that be correct?

However, that's not to say that the design engineer, if they are still practicing with another firm, couldn't be called into testify or provide insight into a past design given a civil dispute over one of their designs. Technically it's still their design and since the license is granted individually, not as a company, so the responsibility remains with them.
