Elevator Constructor

Work Description:
Today’s sophisticated high-rise buildings rely on advanced high-speed elevators installed and maintained by elevator constructors. Elevator constructors should be mechanically and electrically adept, with the willingness to take direction and to learn. The work also requires heavy lifting, comfort with heights, and working in a variety of weather conditions and environments.

Apprentice Age:
Minimum:     18 years
Maximum:     None

Training Program:
Once employment is obtained, probationary apprentices receive a safety module on a video from the education program. After completing a probationary period and on-the-job training with journey-level mechanics, they are eligible to participate in the craft’s education program. Classes cover rigging, electrical construction, hydraulics and material handling. It takes a minimum of four years to complete the courses offered.

Application Process:
Applicants are taken based on a need that is determined by the Joint Apprenticeship Committee. As the need arises, there will be a notice place in several area newspapers.
