I am a mechanical engineer for a fossil power plant. Many of the senior engineers and some managers with 25+ years of experience have their PE license and/or steam engineer license. The work that I do as a plant engineer does not really qualify as PE work. But what about the steam engineer license? As an engineer on the technical staff, I do not supervise operators and I am not I allowed to operate any equipment. In my case, am I still eligible to get a license or not? All of the information I see online seems to refer to operators or supervisors of operators. My job responsibility includes troubleshooting equipment, directing contractors, and managing projects, such as boiler or turbine outages.
