Company Overview

This Isn’t Just a Job — It’s a Path to a Licensed Trade Career

At Executive Elevator, we don’t hire “helpers.” We invest in people who want to become licensed elevator mechanics— individuals who are smart, dependable, mechanically skilled, and hungry to learn. You'll work alongside some of the best in the business and earn while you learn a career most people don’t even know exists.

If you're serious about developing a high-level trade skill — and can prove you're not afraid of tough work — keep reading.

Please do not apply if:

  • You’ve only worked in retail, fast food, non-technical or warehouse box-shifting
  • You don’t have real hands-on trade experience
  • You’re not ready to work hard, stay late, or learn constantly
  • You cannot travel overnight — out of town work is common in our industry
  • If you have previously applied at Executive Elevator

  • Understanding of electrical systems, troubleshooting, and safety
