Extracted from facts primary
A licensed professional engineering role in which an engineer whose academic degree and professional background are in a discipline other than structural or civil engineering (e.g., chemical engineering) is retained to perform structural design work, such as foundation or footing design, for which they lack demonstrated training or experience, bearing heightened obligations to disclose competence limitations, decline work outside their domain, and protect public safety from structurally deficient designs.

Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A construction contractor stakeholder role in which the contractor, operating within a design/build project delivery arrangement, independently retains a separate professional engineer to perform a discrete design scope (e.g., structural footings) as a sub-engagement, bearing interests in project completion and cost efficiency while generating ethical obligations for the retained engineer regarding competence and public safety.
