Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Elevator repair workers are technicians who inspect, maintain, and repair elevating machinery such as elevators and escalators.
Description
Elevator repair workers are specialized technicians who perform regular inspections, maintenance, fault diagnosis, parts replacement, and repair work on elevating machinery such as elevators and escalators installed in buildings and facilities. They conduct legally mandated inspections and safety checks, and ensure the safety and reliability of the machinery through adjustments and tests of control devices (including PLC), hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and electrical circuits. They collaborate with facility managers and building management companies, who are their clients, to develop maintenance plans and respond to emergencies. Additionally, since the work involves working at heights, handling heavy objects, and working in confined spaces, meticulous work procedures and safety measures are required.
Future Outlook
With the aging of infrastructure equipment and strengthening of safety standards, the demand for regular inspections and repairs is expected to remain stable. The importance of remote monitoring and data analysis skills is expected to increase with the spread of IoT utilization and automatic diagnostic technologies.
