Hey guys,
I'm working with an independent consultant (IC) who is not a PE. The IC has done and could do the work on their own but there's too much on their plate and is looking to give me this client in the near future. The IC brought me in as a sub, I'm a PE and my solo firm is licensed. The client is not requiring a PE to do the work and the work product isn't going to be used for permitting nor construction. We are evaluating an operation and providing recommendations for improvements. The IC is drafting the report for a client and I'm in charge of reviewing the report and providing feedback plus I'm in charge of doing some calculations and conceptual designs to integrate in the report. Based on my state's rules, I'm supposed to sign all final docs (reports, drawings, etc) that I work on.
Do you see PEs sign/sealing this type of work? And if so, where should I sign the documents in the report? I'm used to engineering firms putting the signature page towards the front of the report, but in this case the IC is the lead on writing the report. I'm thinking about attaching my work as exhibits and sing/sealing those. Any thoughts? Thanks!
