During the passenger lift, elevator

Posted by beranter on August 31st, 2015

During the passenger lift, elevator mechanics typically earn to per hour. Salaries increase sharply once students graduate to a journeyman/mechanic designation.

“At the present time, it’s pretty close to an hour for a licensed mechanic, and then if you’re doing maintenance, maintenance mechanics go on call, so there could also be overtime on top of that for nights and weekends,” Mr. Staite said.

As such, it is not uncommon for elevator technicians to earn six figures in their first year as fully licensed mechanics, though Mr. Staite added that salaries can remain stagnant throughout the remainder of their career.

Furthermore, while there are safety measures in place, the career does present an element of danger one would not find at a desk job.

“All of the companies do a lot of safety training, and if the safety training is followed, it’s not dangerous,” Mr. Staite said. “If shortcuts are taken, like in any occupation, that’s when people can get hurt.”
