Applied to
XYZ Consultants staffing and supervision obligations for engineering work performed by Engineer Intern A
Balancing with
Employer Hiring Due Diligence Obligation
Concrete expression
The 90-day PE licensure requirement in XYZ Consultants' job advertisement reflects the broader principle that engineering positions requiring PE oversight must be filled by licensed engineers or by candidates genuinely on track for licensure, so that the public protection function of the licensure system is not undermined by indefinite deferral of the licensure condition
Confidence
0.8
Importance

Interpretation
The licensure integrity principle undergirds the 90-day requirement and explains why the employer's reliance on Engineer Intern A being 'on track' was not merely a contractual expectation but an ethical one — the firm has an obligation to ensure that its engineering work is performed under appropriate PE oversight, which requires that the licensure condition be genuinely achievable
Invoked by
XYZ Consultants Engineering Firm Hiring Authority
XYZ Consultants Engineering Firm PE Licensing Supervisor
Tension resolution
The licensure integrity principle supports both the employer's right to rely on the candidate's representations about licensure trajectory and the candidate's obligation to make those representations complete and accurate
