Great jobs, great pay: Elevator technician

been doing elevators for 32 years. make a minimum of 95 to 100k a year. best job ever. no college degree needed. go UNION.....

This job sounds good on so many levels.

The job looks so fun. It's not the same thing over and over again. Because an elevator can have hundreds of different problems, it's not repetitive. You aren't sitting on a computer in an office all day. You go outside and drive your car to the broken elevator, fix it and get paid. You also get to take people out of stuck elevators. You are basically saving people from starving to death in the elevator D

Read up on controllers.Lift door equipment etc ,so much to learn.I had 45 years in trade,Always learning.Ended up a lift inspector.A great career.

Getting an industrial maintenence degree during union wait. Can't wait for these few years to be over to get on site.

I love this job!Get to travel around and fix shit. Next week joining Schindler!

i hope to make this my career path, thank you for shedding some light

hi i have 6 years of experience in elevators i was the technician for EECO where can i apply for a job.

Assembly and renovation kind a hard thing, but making maintenance and repair on elevator is easy and comfy. We can lay down like a half of the time of work in a day.

She’s speaking the money aspect but there’s more than the eye meets. This job is tough and it’s well paid for a reason. If you can handle heights and heavy large ass cables then this job is not for you. It’s very physical and its not always just putting in your laptop sometimes is more than that.

lift engineer mate right now is it worth it

Anyone know how I can get into this career I’m a handyman and have worked construction I live in south Florida

Hard to get in and depending on department (construction, modernization, repair), its EXTREMELY difficult/challenging work. But can't beat the pay. I was making 85k a few years after high school, skipped college. And people look down on blue collar workers lol

Yea these guys make way way way more then that in philadelphia all the overtime is double time for that I know elevator guys pulling 200,000 + even 300,000

I learned elevators in the Navy on board a carrier......when I got out in 1977.....I enrolled at Univ of Fla for EE degree and 3 weeks before I started, I got a call from an Elevator Corp asking if I was interested in a job......hmmmm, I never even thought of it but went for an interview and offered me a vehicle and 40k to start..........my Father, who always preached college and worked for NASA at the Cape freaked out at the offer and yes TAKE THE JOB........more money that he made with more bennies......lol..............anyway.......I'm retired now and made a ton of money over the yrs.......and did much better that many guys I know with a wonderful easy retirement......

get in line,it’s going be awhile

Am glad i am working at KONE elevator and escalator

Elevator Companies make more than just that kind of product. They're involved with other kinds of Crafts that go up and down.

The mechanical part is the easier part. You just need muscle. Its the electrical part i want to learn. Map panel. Circuit board . Troubleshoot. Thats technical

I'm a qualified electrician now training to be a Lift engineer, I work for Otis.
