Change of engagement under single employer

[dly]

I have worked for the same employer for 18 months. I was originally hired as a drafter, but because of my education level my employer had me doing professional level work. During that time I got a promotion into the professional track, but my overall responsibilities did not change. Does that count as a change of engagement?

Guessing ptatohed is going to move this to the appropriate forum.

I think we need some more information here. What do you mean by doing 'professional level work?' Were you doing drafting professionally? Were you doing engineering work? Professional tracks aren't the same at every company so again more information is needed before anyone can accurately weigh in.

Generally a promotion will come with relevant raises etc. However, since your responsibilities haven't changed if seems akin to being transferred from one department to another - so a paper change. Again, better information is needed here.

Check your state board's rules and statutes in regards with the definition of professional level responsibilities that they qualify for PE eligibility. If a state board defines your work experience not according to their requirements as a qualifying work experience, it doesn't matter whether you are in a professional track or not in your company.

What would have been the appropriate forum to post this in?

I have been doing engineering work the entire time I have been employed by them, so yes it was a paper change but I did get a new title and a raise. The validity of my qualifying experience is not what I am asking about.

From the application:

"An engagement is one association, with one employer, in one capacity, at one level of responsibility. A change in engagement is a new employer, a promotion, or a significant change in duties, authority, responsibility, etc. Different projects in the same capacity for one employer are not considered separate engagements."

the first two sentences seem to indicate I had a change in engagement, but the last one seems to indicate the opposite.

I am just going to list it as one engagement as my experience is from multiple projects in the same capacity for one employer and I did not have a change in responsibilities, duty, or authority.

Sorry about the location of the post, I misunderstood your question.

I agree that it appears that your experience should be listed as one engagement.
