I let my P.Eng lapse when I moved to BC. I’d been non practicing for years. Didn’t want to bother. I no longer refer to myself as an engineer, despite having an electrical engineering degree and previously had the title.

I keep thinking about just letting mine go. Through random events, I ended up responsible member at work. I don’t even know the events that triggered us getting a permit to practice, as we have 2 whole engineers working and we’re both in EE, and never sign off on anything. I am dreading this permit to practice management plan. It sounds like a PITA. I think with that they’re trying to create something that is going to become a big headache - if you hire engineers to do software, and they want to maintain their P.Eng, it is going to be ugly and potentially costly for the company to deal with when it comes to professional development and stuff.
But, if the company is hiring non-engineers for the roles, then just go with the developer title. Does it even make a difference?
