NCBELS RECOMMENDATION

Have you considered serving on the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors (NCBELS)? The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors is organized under the provisions of The North Carolina Engineering and Land Surveying Act, Chapter 89C, of the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 89C). The Board consists of four Professional Engineers, three Professional Land Surveyors, and two Public Members, appointed by the Governor of the State of North Carolina. Members of the Board serve for staggered five-year terms, and no member may be appointed for more than two full terms. The Board is responsible for administrating and regulating engineering and land surveying professions in North Carolina. The Board reviews applications, administers examinations, licenses qualified applicants, and regulates the professional practice of the licensees throughout the state. The Board investigates alleged violations of provisions of the licensure law.

To be eligible to serve, surveyor candidates must meet the following criteria according to § 89C-5. “Each land surveyor member of the Board shall be a resident of North Carolina and shall be a licensed professional land surveyor engaged in the lawful practice of land surveying in North Carolina for at least six years.”

In November, NCSS will be recommending a surveyor from our organization to Governor Cooper to fill a position that will be open at the end of the year. All interested individuals should contact the Executive Director.  (email: sbarron@ncsurveyors.com or 919-556-9848)
