I quit my civil engineering job recently with the intention of getting into another field. In the meantime I received an unsolicited offer to work part time for a friend of the family's as a civil engineer, probably for just a few months. I could use the extra cash while I figure out my next move and am somewhat interested.
The company is mech/electrical, and I would be the only civil consultant for a few projects. I just passed the Civil PE and don't have a seal or license number yet, but even if I did I doubt I would be willing to sign or seal anything. I don't think they even know I passed the exam yet, so I don't think they were expecting me to anyway.
Do I need to carry any kind of insurance to work for them, even if I'm not signing and sealing any documents? What happens if I screw something up? Can they sue me?
