About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Execute installations within scheduled access windows coordinated by the operations team, using proper lockout/tagout procedures to stop the elevator safely, ensuring all work is completed on time and elevator service is fully restored upon completion
Install digital screens inside elevator cabs and lobbies using mounting methods that are fully non-invasive — the only interface with the elevator is a single power connection; no modifications to mechanical, electrical control, or safety systems of any kind
Ensure all installations comply with ASME A17.1 cab interior requirements and NYC DOB standards, with zero impact on elevator certification or inspection status
Assess each elevator cab prior to installation to confirm that screen placement, cable management, and mounting hardware meet code requirements and will not trigger re-inspection obligations
Route and manage power connections cleanly and professionally, maintaining full separation from elevator control and operational wiring
Work with building staff to coordinate access as needed; familiarity with building protocols and elevator maintenance vendors is a plus
Troubleshoot screen hardware, power connections, and content delivery systems post-installation
Maintain detailed installation records for each property, including photos, cab dimensions, mounting specifications, and completion documentation
