What elevator mechanics do
Elevator mechanics install, maintain, repair and modernize elevators, escalators, moving walkways and wheelchair lifts. The work combines electrical, electronic, hydraulic and mechanical skills: wiring controllers, aligning rails, testing safety devices and troubleshooting breakdowns, often in hoistways and machine rooms.
There are three main kinds of work: new construction installs, service routes (maintenance and callbacks in occupied buildings), and modernization (replacing controllers and equipment in older buildings).
How to get hired
Most elevator mechanics learn through a multi-year apprenticeship, commonly run by the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) and its training program, NEIEP, along with some non-union employers. Applicants usually need a high school diploma or equivalent and must pass an aptitude test. Electrical or mechanical experience helps.
Many states and cities require an elevator mechanic license. Check your state licensing board early, because the rules vary.
