Decision Question
Should Engineer A restructure the firm's sealing practice — by requiring registered engineer subordinates to affix their own seals to segments they personally prepare and invoking the Section II.2.c coordinating engineer model — or should he continue as the sole sealing engineer while relying on general supervision, accepting the ethical and legal consequences of that role?
Focus
Engineer A's Structural Response: Whether to Restructure the Firm's Sealing Architecture or Continue as Sole Sealing Engineer
Option1
Require each registered engineer subordinate to affix their own seal to the technical segments they personally prepare, restructuring Engineer A's role as a coordinating chief engineer under Section II.2.c — exercising responsible charge over project integration and coherence while segment-level professional accountability is formally attributed to the engineers with direct knowledge of the work.
Option2
Retain the current single-engineer sealing model, accepting full professional accountability for all sealed documents under the Professional Accountability principle, while advocating internally for enhanced review resources — additional staff, reduced project volume, or extended timelines — to make detailed review more feasible without restructuring the sealing architecture.
Option3
Refuse to continue holding the chief engineer sealing authority under organizational conditions that make responsible charge structurally impossible, compelling the firm to either adopt a distributed multi-engineer sealing model, reduce project volume, or assign sealing authority to multiple registered engineers each capable of exercising genuine responsible charge over their respective domains.
