I don't want to sound dismissive, but I have been a practicing engineer for 30 years I am somewhat skeptical about your interpretation of facts here.
If you have reviewed another professional's work in the report while employed by that company, it has the full right to use your name on the report and you remain fully responsible for that report after leaving employment within APEGA professional liability guidelines. The company can't forge your signature (unless you had previously used electronic signatures as a normal practice while employed there; then it can use it), but they can use your name and title on the work you had done without any ethical issues.
If you have not reviewed the report and your name was used, then it's fraud and severe practice code violation. A simple complaint filed with APEGA will have the company lose their license to practice for doing that. Do it and kill two birds with one stone: have the unauthorized use of your name stop and have your revenge at the same time.
My skepticism comes from the following: if this is a national engineering firm with hundreds of engineers under employment, why would they ever need to use unauthorized signature of a disgruntled employee on a report he didn't review?
P.S. I've re-read my post and it reads a bit harsh, sorry. I didn't mean it that way. You seem to be seeking advice. Feel free to PM me if you think more details would help a better understanding. I will respond promptly.
