My Dad was an elevator constructor for over 30 years. He worked for a small company. He retired from it a few years ago, and works as an elevator inspector now
That’s a great transition or retired IUEC members. Local 1 IUEC here. Just finished my apprenticeship. My first 3 years was assisting my mechanic performing Cat 1 & Cat 5 tests. Met a lot of inspectors. All of them are retired members who are inspecting now and loving it.
How much ?
@@user-ny3mk1uv1h I’ll be doing the same thing at 58.
Why are you putting this comment on every video?
Can someone give me Jason grey info
Passed the EIAT, Passed my interview and got ranked #4 on the hiring list.
Can’t wait to get that phone call and start the best career. I would advise anyone to try there best to get in. I know a few guys in the trade already and the assure me it’s the best career any tradesmen can have.
What kind of questions did they ask you ?
@@haidtong2000
The first question was something along the lines of why are you interested in the elevator trade and what are your plans .
Then you give a response formatted in a certain way. I can’t remember exact specs. But it was not hard for me
@@deankoontz8846 how long did it take to get the interview after you passed the test
So tell us bro!
How is it going ?
@@Mr.Mission 2 / 3 weeks
Dads local 5. Grandfather was local 5. Grandfathers uncle was local 5. I will be local 5 after my airforce career. Can’t beat the money/benefits.
What’s the average salary range for this career? Cux I have seen a pretty big range of numbers
@@bigmover7407it depends on the state so just google it
@@bigmover7407as a mechanic with overtime you can make 150
Got my interview tomorrow
What local and how did it go?
Did u past
Shock Wave pass* and yes, I’m on the list and waiting for the call
@@TheRealBoeJiden how was the interview process
@@mattgarrett1990 wasn’t anything crazy but it was different than a standard interview. first the aptitude test then interview and in the interview it’s two people and they ask certain questions that you have to answer specifically. A lot of the questions pertain to previous experience with tools, steps to getting a job done, dealing with situations and co workers, etc
This is so VERY wonderful I can’t wait to tell my son
Union forever! Trying to get into Local 19 in Seattle right now.
This is cool I’m in Atlanta and wanna do this
I just submitted am email form on the website!
Neiep.org
I’m a licensed electrician in ibew 613 want to come try it out local 32
I’d really love to do a trade job like this or electrician, unfortunately I’m terrible with heights and that seems to be a dealbreaker, which is understandable but unfortunate.
Go for it. I had (and still have) a terrible fear of heights. Said screw it and joined the IBEW almost a year ago. Little by little I’m getting more comfortable doing things I thought I’d never be able to do. Best choice of my life
I’ve been thinking about this. One of my main concerns are weather or not I’m too old to start. Im 34 at the moment and by the time the local union will be recruiting again I’ll be 36.
Most of my work experience has been on ships for the past 12 years and been wanting to try a different career.
Some get into the local trades as late as 40, and retire around 55 or so. Don’t be discouraged.
Im 43 and just interviewed with local 1..... never too old...
There's guys in their 50's just getting into the trade. It's never too late to try
Not too late. Oldest I ever met was over 50 before he got in. I was 36. I would have tried earlier but I knew nothing about it and it was never on my mind until I saw a crew doing new construction on a jobsite and talked to them. It seemed interesting as hell. Now currently doing modernization and love it. I left a different trade I had just finished a 3rd year of an apprenticeship for. No reason to look back honestly. If you aren't afraid of hard work (at times) and soak up as much knowledge as possible, you'll do fine. There is New Construction, Modernization, Repair, and Service. You will find out what suits you and hopefully end up doing what you aim to. A lot of people forget that this tradw also builds and services escalators as well.
The pay along with the benefits are truly some of the best you can come across without college education.
@@miguelquazar883Hi there. Thanks for your input. I’m 46
will be applying for my local this month. I’m curios as to which area you think would be best for someone my age… I.e. service, modernization etc. any info would be greatly appreciated.
I just started with Kone!
Do you know when the application opens up again boss
Union or non union?
My husband just received his e mail from NEIEP. It says he's marked 84, 63 in Charlotte and 28 in Columbus in their applicant pool. Can anyone explain it to me what 63 and 28 mean? Thank you in advance
That means how far they are in line. Obviously 1 will get the call first and so on.
@@mb8987 oh I see... I thought so too but I wasn't sure .. hopefully they'll call him soon. Thank you !!
@@roryswastika709 I was #37 and it took almost 10 months to get the call.
i really want to get into the union. I'm 21 years old and currently working for a residential elevator company any tips or advise to get into it because i heard it one of the hardest unions to get into
You got your boots wet. Thats good. Look up your local chapter of the IUEC. Their website will have the name and number of the business rep. Call them. Explain your situation and skills and they will see about placing you when work is available. I dont know your area so i cannot give you time frame.
You basically have to wait until a local offers recruitment opportunities and then you apply during the time frame.
However, I have seen people get in if they have experience in the trade or a brother with a good rep. puts in a good word etc.
Is the death rate high because that’s what worries me the most I’m not trying to fall to my death get crushed or die from electrocution 👀 someone put me at ease here please
Local 25 !!!
Union>>>>>>>>non union
can apply work elevator installer ..
Ive been union for 9 years now, i will never go back to non union.
The Elevator trade is the top paying construction trade but one of their cons is that most of the mechanics are racists, believe me I know, I heard them say derogatory words to apprentices to get them to push back and quit the apprenticeship program because they prefer only one race in the union, again I know, I've done seen and heard it. If you take away those types of people from the union, this local would be top notch, the best union to join. Not sure how the other locals are but this one sure has its share of bad apples
Lean in real close here buddy: *everyone is racist*
What union
@@footygoodness explain how a black person can deny you of wealth building opportunities like white controlled unions do?
there aint shit in texas - no more open applications
Its very hard to get into being an elevator mechanic my guy.
Gota go where elevators are. That’s basically your job
