L1 Engineer

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
