THE DISCIPLINE FILE
Case No.: 17-009-FH continued
10. Mr. Jhinjar will pay hearing costs in the amount of $5,000, payable within six (6) months of receiving the Discipline Committee's written decision. 11. Details of the Discipline Committee’s decision will be published in The PEG and/or posted on APEGA’s website with Mr. Jhinjar’s and S&M Project Services Inc.’s names. It was the view of the Hearing Panel that the modified joint submission on penalty was appropriate and reasonable. These orders will protect the public because Mr. Jhinjar is not permitted to practise in structural engineering until he has completed one year of restricted practice and has successfully completed the courses set out above. Further, once Mr. Jhinjar has completed Orders 2 and 3, he shall only practise in structural engineering under the direct, personal supervision of a structural engineer who has appropriate qualifications. The supervision order is for a further two-year period. Similarly, S&M Project Services Inc. is restricted from the practice of structural engineering for a period of one year.
b. A university-level ethics course, such as the Practice of the Engineering Profession (University of Alberta, ENGG 600); and c. The National Professional Practice Exam.
4. Upon completing the requirements described in Paragraphs 2 and 3 above, and for a period of two (2) years, Mr. Jhinjar shall only practise in structural engineering under the direct, personal supervision of a structural engineer, with appropriate qualifications acceptable to the Discipline Committee. That supervisor shall provide quarterly reports to APEGA respecting all projects Mr. Jhinjar has worked on, at Mr. Jhinjar's expense. Mr. Jhinjar may submit the name or names of supervisors he wishes to work with, and the Discipline Committee will consider the suitability of those candidates. The final selection of a supervisor will be made by the Discipline Committee. 5. At the conclusion of two (2) years of supervised practice, the supervisor will attest in writing to Mr. Jhinjar's competency in structural engineering. 6. If the supervisor does not attest to Mr. Jhinjar's competency at the conclusion of the two (2) years of supervised practice, the period of supervised practice will be extended for a further one year. 7. S&M Project Services Inc. shall be restricted from the practice of structural engineering, including but not limited to the design of tall walls, for a period of one year from the date that this sanction is imposed by the Discipline Committee. 8. Mr. Jhinjar and S&M Project Services Inc. shall each receive a formal reprimand for their conduct with the Discipline Committee's written decision to serve as the formal reprimand. 9. Mr. Jhinjar and S&M Project Services Inc. shall each pay a fine in the amount of $2,500, for a total of $5,000, within six (6) months of the Discipline Committee's written decision. Failure to pay the same by either Mr. Jhinjar or S&M Project Services Inc. shall result in the immediate suspension of the registration or the permit to practice, as the case may be, until the fine is paid.
