WAC 136-12-080. Supervision of nonengineering county engineer duties in counties with a part-time county engineer or a contract county engineer

When a legislative authority of a county chooses to employ a county engineer on a part-time basis or contract with another county for the services of its county engineer, it shall designate by resolution a full-time employee to perform the day-to-day supervision of the county engineer duties not requiring a professional civil engineering license in accordance with policies established by the legislative authority. Per RCW 18.43.120 , it is unlawful for a person to practice engineering without a license, unless directly overseen by a licensed individual. For the purposes of this chapter, the practice of engineering involves anything requiring engineering opinion, judgment, consultation, analysis, calculation, or design, but would exclude certain routine maintenance and operations decision making and calculations by qualified personnel.
