Elevator technicians, also known as elevator installers and repairers, are skilled tradespeople who specialize in the installation, maintenance, and repair of elevators, escalators, moving walkways, and other types of lifts. Their work ensures the safe and efficient operation of vertical transportation systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
These technicians read blueprints to determine equipment layout and perform installations according to specifications and safety codes. Routine maintenance involves inspecting and lubricating parts, testing systems, and making adjustments to ensure smooth operation. When breakdowns occur, elevator technicians diagnose the problem using specialized tools and repair or replace faulty components such as cables, motors, or control systems.
