Decision question
Should Engineer F disclose the contractor license revocation on the employment application despite the question's narrow wording referencing only professional engineering license discipline, or answer 'no' based on the question's literal scope?
Focus
Engineer F: Disclosure of Contractor License Revocation on Employment Application — Literal Scope vs. Evident Purpose
Option1
Voluntarily disclose the contractor license revocation on the employment application, interpreting the disciplinary question according to its evident purpose of assessing character and fitness, and provide brief context regarding the circumstances and any remedial steps taken.
Option2
Answer 'no' to the disciplinary question on the grounds that the question's wording explicitly references only professional engineering license discipline, and the contractor license revocation falls outside that literal scope — placing responsibility on the firm to draft a more comprehensive inquiry if broader disclosure is desired.
Option3
Contact the hiring firm's human resources or legal department to ask whether the disciplinary question is intended to cover non-PE occupational licenses before submitting the application, thereby resolving the ambiguity without either withholding information or volunteering it unilaterally.
