The Board’s Enforcement Unit is recruiting the services of professional engineers, professional land surveyors, professional geologists, and professional geophysicists to serve as independent Expert Consultants for complaint investigation matters.

Duties - Technical expert consultants review enforcement complaint investigation cases for compliance with the laws and regulations and the standards of care and practice.

Qualifications - Technical expert consultants must be a California resident and have been licensed in California for a minimum of five years. Additionally, they cannot have been the subject of any complaints or enforcement actions.
