Decision Question
Should Engineer F proactively disclose the contractor license revocation to his employer after being hired, or treat the omission as closed once the application was submitted and the narrow question technically answered?
Focus
After Engineer F is hired and the engineering firm independently discovers the contractor license revocation, the question arises whether Engineer F bore a continuing ethical obligation to disclose the revocation proactively during the employment relationship — and whether the firm's failure to draft a broader application question bears any moral weight in distributing responsibility for the informational gap.
Option1
Voluntarily inform the employer of the contractor license revocation at or shortly after the start of employment, recognizing that the faithful agent and trustee duty requires candor about material adjudicated integrity findings regardless of what the application question literally asked.
Option2
Treat the disclosure obligation as contingent on a domain-specific trigger — disclosing the revocation only if assigned to fire protection projects where the prior contractor misconduct becomes directly operationally relevant to the employer's risk assessment.
Option3
Treat the submission of the employment application — and the technically accurate 'no' answer — as exhausting the disclosure obligation, on the grounds that the firm's narrow question defined the scope of required disclosure and no new triggering event has arisen post-hire.
