Lift Technician

Requirements:

• Grade 12 (Matric), ideally with Maths and Science, plus an N2/N3 in mechanical or electrical engineering
• A completed Trade Test (Red Seal) — Lift Mechanic or Electrical — is essential
• Solid hands-on experience servicing and repairing lifts/escalators (please indicate how many years)
• Working knowledge of the OHS Act and the National Code of Practice for lifting machinery, since safety compliance isn't optional in this field
• A valid driver's licence and own transport, as this role covers multiple sites
• Willingness to be on a call-out roster, including after-hours and weekends
• A calm head under pressure — you may be dealing with someone stuck in a lift, so composure matters as much as skill
• Previous experience with a major OEM (installation, modernisation or service side)
• Working at heights / confined space certification
• Basic computer literacy for job cards and reporting

Duties:

• Servicing, maintaining and repairing passenger and goods lifts (and escalators, where applicable) in line with manufacturer specs and safety standards
• Diagnosing and repairing mechanical and electrical faults — motors, control panels, door mechanisms, safety gear, counterweights, wiring
• Conducting routine inspections and preventative maintenance to catch problems before they become breakdowns
• Responding to emergency call-outs and entrapments, often after hours
• Keeping accurate service and job records for every site visit
• Working safely at height and in confined shaft spaces, following all OHS Act requirements
