Chief Engineer Sealing Supervisor
Class
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ChiefEngineerSealingSupervisor
Definition
A senior licensed professional engineering role in which the practitioner holds the position of chief engineer within a large engineering firm, affixes their seal to plans prepared by registered and non-registered engineers working under their general direction, and bears professional accountability for those documents even when the volume and complexity of concurrent projects makes detailed personal review of every drawing impractical. The role requires that the practitioner be sufficiently engaged in concept development, design requirements, and progressive review to exercise meaningful direction and control, and must check and review plans in some detail before sealing.
Inherited from ResponsibleChargeEngineer
A licensed professional engineering role in which the practitioner bears formal responsible charge over a project or work product, meaning they must be actively engaged in the engineering process from conception to completion, personally make or directly supervise all engineering decisions, and cannot satisfy this obligation by reviewing completed documents after the fact without involvement in design and development.

Match Reasoning
The chief engineer sealing supervisor is a specialization of Responsible Charge Engineer: the practitioner bears formal responsible charge over work prepared by others and must be actively engaged in direction and control, which is precisely the definition of Responsible Charge Engineer. The large-firm supervisory context is case-specific detail, not a distinct role type.
