Text

This chapter does not prevent or affect:
1. The practice or offer to practice engineering by an individual not a resident or having
no established place of business in this state, if that individual is legally qualified by
registration to practice engineering in another state or country that extends similar
privileges to individuals registered under this chapter. However, that individual shall
make an application accompanied by the appropriate application fee to the board in
writing before practicing or offering to practice engineering, and may be granted a
one-time temporary permit for a definite period of time not to exceed one year to do a
specific job. No right to practice engineering accrues to any applicant with respect to
any other work not set forth in the temporary permit. A land surveyor may not receive a
temporary permit under this subsection.
2. The work of an employee or a subordinate of an individual holding a certificate of
registration under this chapter, or an employee of an individual practicing lawfully

under subsection 1; provided such work does not include final engineering or
surveying designs or decisions and is done under the direct supervision of and verified
by an individual holding a certificate of registration under this chapter, or an individual
practicing lawfully under subsection 1.
3. The practice of any other legally recognized profession or trade, nor does the chapter
permit registered professional engineers to perform duties requiring the services of a
licensed architect, as provided by the laws of the state of North Dakota licensing and
regulating architects and architecture.
4. The practice of engineering or land surveying by any individual regularly employed to
perform engineering services solely for that individual's employer or for a subsidiary or
affiliated corporation or limited liability company of that individual's employer, providing
the services performed are in connection with the property, products, or services of
that individual's employer, unless the board determines the property, products, or
services are of a unique type requiring registration to protect the public.
5. The performance of work ordinarily performed by a person that operates or maintains
machinery or equipment.
