Architecture, Engineering and Land Survey (NR) Group Definition

Pursuant to paragraph 11.1(1)(b) of the Financial Administration Act, the Treasury Board of Canada hereby provides notice that the definition of the Applied Science and Engineering Group, effective , as published in Part I of the Canada Gazette on , is amended and replaced by the following definition that shall apply to the Architecture, Engineering and Land Survey Group effective .

The Architecture, Engineering and Land Survey Group comprises positions that are primarily involved in the application of comprehensive scientific and professional knowledge to a program involving one of the following: architecture, landscape architecture, urban and rural planning, engineering and land surveying.

Inclusions

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, for greater certainty, it includes positions that have, as their primary purpose, responsibility for one or more of the following activities:

  1. the conceptual and detailed planning of buildings and related works, the planning and design of outdoor environments for human use, the development of codes and standards, and the management and monitoring of construction projects;
  2. the planning, design, construction or maintenance of physical or chemical processes, systems, structures or equipment; and the development or application of engineering standards or procedures including:
    1. the planning, design, construction or maintenance of buildings, equipment, structures or systems such as transportation, telecommunications, utilities or water use projects;
    2. the planning or conduct of environmental engineering services such as heating and air conditioning, or lighting;
    3. the planning or conduct of engineering works or studies concerned with the control of such matters as radio wave frequency usage, product quality, industrial safety or electrical utilities;
    4. the planning or conduct of engineering works or studies concerned with environmental problems related to air, water or land resources, where a comprehensive knowledge of engineering is the prime requirement;
    5. the planning or conduct of site exploration, development or engineering works control surveys;
    6. the conduct of cost-benefit or feasibility studies; and
    7. the development or modification of physical systems or equipment for use in special purpose computer systems applications where a comprehensive knowledge of engineering is the prime requirement;
