Lindsay’s Answer

I worked in construction project management for roughly 15 years and always remember wishing there were more people who worked with elevators/escalators! Depending on the building/location work may happen during standard business hours or after hours to minimize disruption which brings me to what I think is great about the field and what I enjoyed about working in the construction industry - impact. There is a visible impact to people with the work you do. Getting people safely from point a to point b which might otherwise be impossible for them. If you have the opportunity to work on busy, high traffic locations think of the number of people who's days you are positively impacting!

Gary’s Answer

An elevator mechanic is a great profession. There are large as well as small companies who hire these professionals. In most cases these are positions where you need to register with the union, especially in Chicago. They have numerous training classes but usually you need to get into the profession from a referral. Hopefully you know people who are in the profession who could lead you to the right contacts to get registered and training. Elevator mechanics make a very good hourly rate.

Best in your search.
