Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- A work requisition (WR) number is created for the job, so that it can be identified and tracked.
- An email summarizing the information is sent to enggtechservices@ualberta.ca, alerting the staff of the proposed project.
- If there are supporting files to be included with the project, an email is sent to the job requester with a link to a form to which they attach the files.
- An email is sent to the Account Holder for approval. Note: The project will not commence until Engineering Technical Services receives approval from the Account Holder.
- Once the job is fully defined (after any necessary consultation) and reviewed by technical staff, it enters the workqueue.
All projects are granted up to 1 hour of free consultation time to define the project.
If additional time is required to design or define the project, you may request to book a design consultation at the next available timeslot or you may elect to contract our design services on a fee-for-service basis.
