L1 Engineer — Delivery Guild Cross-Guild Criteria
These criteria define what the Delivery Guild expects from an Engineer (L1) who is primarily a Technology Guild role. They are authored and governed by the Delivery Guild. The Skill column maps each criterion to a skill and level in the Calab Skills Registry.
Forward Deployed Engineering
| ID | Criterion | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| L1-FDE01 | Learns the client’s business process they are supporting — who does what, with which systems, and why it matters — before building changes to it. | SFIA-BSMO-2 |
| L1-FDE02 | Implements assigned integration and configuration tasks in the client’s environment, composing existing platform capabilities before writing new code. | SFIA-SINT-2 |
| L1-FDE03 | Verifies changes with the people who use them — demonstrates in the target environment, records acceptance evidence, iterates on feedback. | SFIA-TEST-2 |
| L1-FDE04 | Raises gaps between the documented solution design and field reality to the responsible engineer rather than guessing or working around them. | SFIA-DESN-2 |
User Experience
| ID | Criterion | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| L1-UXD01 | Builds user-facing changes that follow the solution’s established design patterns and components, keeping the experience consistent. | SFIA-HCEV-2 |
| L1-UXD02 | Checks their changes from the user’s point of view before handover — realistic data, complete workflows, accessibility basics. | SFIA-USEV-2 |
Consulting Management
| ID | Criterion | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| L1-CM01 | Works effectively within a client engagement — understands its goals, their role in it, and delivers on their commitments. | SFIA-BUS-2 |
| L1-CM02 | Adapts quickly to client ways of working — tools, ceremonies, standards — with minimal disruption. | SFIA-BUS-2 |
| L1-CM03 | Maintains accurate, timely records the engagement depends on: time tracking, task status, handover notes. | SFIA-AUTO-2 |
Project Management
| ID | Criterion | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| L1-PM01 | Keeps their task status current in the project’s tracking system so plans reflect reality. | SFIA-AUTO-2 |
| L1-PM02 | Estimates their assigned tasks honestly, tracks against the estimate, and raises variances early. | SFIA-BUS-2 |
| L1-PM03 | Knows their dependencies in the project plan — what they’re waiting on and who is waiting on them. | SFIA-KNGE-2 |
Business Analysis
| ID | Criterion | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| L1-BAM01 | Reads and correctly interprets requirements and acceptance criteria before building, confirming ambiguities with the author. | SFIA-REQM-2 |
| L1-BAM02 | Records what they built against the requirement so acceptance can be verified without re-discovery. | SFIA-REQM-2 |
| L1-BAM03 | Raises requirement gaps or contradictions discovered during implementation instead of resolving them silently. | SFIA-REQM-2 |
