Elevator & Conveying
Elevator and conveying work is highly specialized and certification-heavy — modernizations, maintenance windows, and new installs all hinge on a narrow pool of qualified mechanics. SKILLS lets elevator trade businesses redistribute that scarce availability: post a Crew Needed or Crew Available listing, trade structured Coverage Offers with fair-pricing guardrails, and lock terms into an immutable Work Agreement. It's a way to cover a specialty gap or monetize crew downtime between projects.

Elevator & Conveying on SKILLS
What elevator and conveying work can I find crews for?
Elevator installation, modernization, and maintenance, plus escalators, moving walkways, dumbwaiters, and related conveying systems. Because the trade is specialized, postings name the exact specialty, crew size, and schedule, and matching trade businesses send Coverage Offers — so a modernization gap goes to a crew that actually does modernizations.
How does SKILLS handle certifications for elevator crews?
Each business keeps its licenses, certifications, and COIs in the Compliance Vault, with verification tiers running Basic to Trusted to Verified Pro. Before accepting a Coverage Offer on certification-sensitive elevator work, you can confirm the other business is who they say and their credentials are current — vetting done before the crew arrives, not after.
Is SKILLS a staffing agency for elevator mechanics?
No. SKILLS is a trade-to-trade marketplace, not a staffing agency or gig app. It doesn't employ labor — it connects real elevator and conveying businesses so one can cover another's gap. Accepting a Coverage Offer creates a Work Agreement between the two organizations, with accountability on both sides.
