Install and maintain the lifts that move people skyward
Elevator mechanics (elevator constructors) install, repair, and maintain elevators, escalators, moving walkways, and other lifts in commercial and residential buildings.
You troubleshoot a stuck elevator in a 40-story building, replace worn cables and sheaves, program a new control board, and perform annual safety inspections. You work in shafts, on top of cars, and in machine rooms — heights and confined spaces are your office.
