Qualifications of the Engineer
In order to be a County Engineer in the State of
Ohio, the officeholder must have a dual registration -- Professional Engineer
(P.E.) and Professional Surveyor (P.S.) -- as Section 315.02 of the Ohio Revised
Code specifically states:
"No person holding the Office of Clerk of the
Court of Common Pleas, Sheriff, County Treasurer, or County Recorder is eligible
to hold the office of County Engineer. No person is eligible in any county as a
candidate for such office or shall be elected or appointed thereto unless he is
a registered professional engineer and a registered surveyor, licensed to
practice in this state."
"Provisions of this section are mandatory, and
one who is not a registered professional engineer and registered surveyor
licensed to practice in state is not eligible as candidate for Office of County
Engineer or to be elected or appointed thereto unless he shall have previously
served as County Engineer immediately prior to his election."
"It is not contemplated under the provisions of
this section, that two persons, one being only a registered professional
engineer and the other being only a registered surveyor, may be candidates for
or elected to or appointed to the Office of County Engineer."
