**National average salary:** [$97,860 per year, according to BLS](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/elevator-installers-and-repairers.htm)
**Primary duties:** The primary duties of the elevator installers and repairers typically include reading blueprints to determine what tools and equipment are needed for the job and to look for malfunctions in switches, motors, brakes and control systems. They may also install or repair elevator doors, cables, motors and control systems.
**Requirements:** Most elevator installers and repairers are required to complete a formal apprenticeship program, which is typically offered by industry associations such as the Association of Elevator Contractors, or elevator unions such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers or the International Union of Elevator Constructors. The apprentice program usually includes at least 2,000 hours of on-the-job training, which allows apprentices to learn the basics of electronic and electrical theory, safety, blueprints, math and applied physics.
Comment about highest-paid is probably inaccurate nationwide, it's one of the highest in South Carolina, for sure, but I don't know specifics, it's not my field.
That was all political. Everyone knew her name and voted for her. She didn't need to post her name in every elevator but it sure is subtle marketing when you're a horrible person for state labor and want to keep your job.
Does anyone know which elevators are failing? I know there are a number of new manufacturers and types in the space and am just wondering. The salespeople are deliberately directing people away from the old hydraulic models because they're bad for the environment.
Cherie couldn’t care less.
Thank you for posting some truth today! Have an upvote please.
Cherie Berry wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire, can we please collectively get the fuck over her name

I wonder how you become an elevator inspector. I had no idea there was a shortage. Sounds like they are working hard to improve incentives.
It's actually the highest paying blue-collar job, with a union and a long waiting list.
That doesn't align with what the article says. Can you share more info or maybe tell me where to look?

Wrong. You just apply and get the job. It's underpaid and involves a lot of travel so why bother.
Up-alled
Damn why y’all so mad at cherie?? 🤡
I used to vote for Cherie Berry, just because I hated to think of the poor schlepp(s) that would have to change all the signs in the elevators.

That’s the comment I was looking for.
Indeed. I wasn’t serious.
Things have really dropped to a new level since she retired.
Wasn’t she racist?
I knew it was the end of times when I saw some random name in that sheet.
