I haven had much luck posting very specific questions like this before but ill give it another shot.
I am a licensed engineer in TN and several other states. My firm in a consulting only firm and we provide fire protection design intent drawings on a daily basis. I have been contacted by a contractor, that I do not know, to fill a position in a new division they are trying to start. They have apparently been in the business for several years doing fire protection related work, but no installation. They are trying to get a contractors license to do small repair work. TN requires them to have a registered architect, engineer or someone with a NICET certification on staff. I have read all I can find about this position, which is not much, but would like some other opinions. This would not replace my current job. It is not required I be in their office frequently, but I’m not entirely sure of what my responsibilities would be. TN says my name and number would be on service and red tags. Does this mean I have to inspect any work they do? I do not want to jeopardize my license or my relationships with local contractors. I also, obviously, want this to be worth my time ($$$). Any opinions?
