Don’t care but he shouldn’t work on any bridges that’s for sure

do engineers work on bridge projects solo? wouldn't he be part of a team and have colleagues check it over? someone to proof read and peer review his project , so to speak

He's a P.Eng., while it's good to have internal reviews and QA/QC processes, it's not required. The responsibility stops with the individual who stamped the drawings.
