Colleagues who work in design firms, does signing on behalf of others happen often?
Thread Content
When the leader or project manager is not available, it’s impossible to find someone to sign the documents, which hinders progress on the work. Having someone else sign on behalf of them seems like a good solution, but such actions are strictly prohibited. So, colleagues working in design firms, does signing on behalf of others happen frequently in your firms? :shut up:
There’s no such thing. Every capable person in your design institute is afraid of taking responsibility, which is understandable. This situation only shows that your design institute must be a state-owned enterprise with poor performance; our design institute is on the verge of closing down. Let’s see where I can find a place to work

Often, just let me know afterwards *I’m used to it
Reply 1# cblbc: It can’t be said to happen frequently, but it occurs from time to time. However, in general, it is necessary to call the person in charge or the design manager in advance to explain the situation and obtain permission before signing on their behalf. However, for more important conditions and the like, signing on behalf of others is not allowed.
Our approach is to specify at the beginning of a project that if person A is not available, then their substitute B will sign automatically; if B is also not available, then C will sign. This is outlined in the quality plan. If A is the project manager and is away from the office on a business trip, then a designated person B (such as the head of the project team or the head of the design department) can sign in their place. It will be clearly stated at the time of signing that B is signing on behalf of A. The document control engineer will mark the file and have it signed again once A returns.
Sometimes it is, but consent is needed. At the same time, it depends on what the content is
It’s totally normal; we sign them every week!
It seems that having someone sign on your behalf is a pretty normal thing--
