APEGS Work Experience Reporting: What Every Engineer Must Know

Engineers in Saskatchewan face a key step toward licensure, which is the APEGS work experience reporting. This process checks if you meet the skills needed to practice safely and ethically. Many skip details here, which delays their career.


The Role of the Professional Engineering and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS)

APEGS sets rules for engineers and geoscientists in the province. They ensure public safety through strict standards. Their bylaws cover how you report work experience.

You must follow these guidelines to gain registration. APEGS reviews submissions to confirm competence. Non-compliance can lead to rejection or extra steps.

Key APEGS Experience Reporting Terminology

Learn the terms to prevent misunderstandings. A “Supervising Professional” is there to direct you through your project. A “Supervising Professional” requires P.Eng. membership or equivalent.

“Work Period” refers to segments of time on projects that could be one year. It is important to segment your work life this way. “Discipline-Specific Knowledge” relates to knowledge within your discipline. This could include civil or mechanical engineering.

“Professionalism” includes soft skills such as “Reliability.” These terms can be used in your APEGS experience reporting.

Selection and Effective Use of Your Confirmer(s)

Choose your confirmers well. Your confirmers should be P.Eng. members in good standing with APEGS. Choose your supervisors or mentors from recent projects.

Explanations of your needs to them. Sharing your draft reports with them. Their signature evidences your completion of the APEGS work experience reporting.

Aligning Work Descriptions with APEGS Competency Indicators

When crafting your work descriptions, link your tasks to the APEGS competency indicators. Begin your statements with action verbs such as designed, analysed, or led. Not only include your job responsibilities, but also define your achievements and their significance.

For technical skills, you could write: “Solved problems related to calculating flows of pipes to avoid flooding and ensure safety for 500 homes.”

Final Say

To ensure your APEGS work experience reporting is accurate, it is essential to maintain good documentation skills and select competent confirmers. Also, it is important to have your examples directly answer the competency indicators. It is easy to have errors like poor descriptions and a lack of details in your report.

This will help you to proceed with the registrations quickly. Once approved, you will be part of a community of professionals who value high standards and continuous learning.
