Professional Engineers Ontario

Professional Engineers Ontario PEO governs over 85,000 licence and certificate holders and regulates professional engineering in Ontario to serve and protect the public.

Established on June 14, 1922, Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) is the licensing and regulating body for professional engineering in the province. It operates under the authority of the Professional Engineers Act to serve and protect the public interest by setting and upholding high academic, experience and professional practice standards for the engineering profession. Individuals licensed by PEO are the only people permitted by law to undertake and assume responsibility for engineering work in Ontario. PEO is governed by a Council of elected professional engineers and government appointees comprising both professional engineers and non-engineers.

PEO is developing a new fitness-to-practise process designed to address cases in which a licence holder’s health or psychological condition affects their ability to practise engineering safely. The non-punitive approach would create a dedicated pathway for managing incapacity, with a focus on protecting the public while treating individuals fairly and compassionately.
