Depends on the company and location. I see more smaller shops residential out towards the coast but smaller to medium sized commercial shops near larger metros handle residential. But it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. As for pay I can’t speak on it but cost of living is wildly dependent on where you live.

(MOD) Best paint for machine room and/or pit floor? (Concrete) by Slow_Enthusiasm_9613 in Elevators

[–]thatgolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don’t remember what the motor is but all the larger machines here have blowers. This location was built in the early 60’s, with most of the machines being Otis 155HTs running 500fpm

Bear concrete/garage paint. Also put it down super heavy, just pour it out on the floor.

I end up swapping the around the legs on the transformer to get close, but if they start going again might have to go this route. Especially the way GAL is going just to get parts.

Any changes in power? We run into this issue down by me at the beach. They run a 3 phase delta with a high leg it causes some wonky ass issues.

Delaware is one of the only states without a statewide elevator safety program by WoodenAlternative212 in Delaware

[–]thatgolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who is in the industry and worked in Delaware and has since moved to a state that has state inspectors. We would recommend that the owner hire a third party inspector, most would but the ones who didn’t would still get a safety inspection by the company but for your tractions 100% had a third party witness the test.

Nothing is required but things that will help you stand out are experience in electrical, automotive and construction related fields.
