What this means for firm owners in Montana
Montana PE licenses renew on this schedule: biennial; renews June 30 of even-numbered years. Each PE needs 30 PDH per biennium. Up to 15 PDH can carry forward to the next period.
Use the Montana Board of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors as your source for current PE requirements. Check the board site to confirm each employee’s renewal deadline and any continuing education requirements, then track them in your firm’s calendar.
For hires licensed in another state, confirm Montana’s comity process with the board. Ask whether an NCEES Record is needed.
Owner checklist
- Check the board site for each Montana PE’s renewal deadline.
- Confirm the board’s PDH requirements and record completion dates.
- Ask the board about comity steps for PEs licensed elsewhere and whether an NCEES Record is needed.
- Confirm whether your firm must register with the board before offering engineering services.
