Lift Engineering
Course description
Lift engineering is a specialized field of mechanical engineering that focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of lifts. Lift engineers are responsible for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of these systems.
Employment opportunities
Lift engineers may work as in-house engineers for maintenance companies and repair companies, consulting firms, or large construction companies.
Lift engineers work on various aspects of lifts, including system design, testing, inspection, troubleshooting, and maintenance. They must have a strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and control systems, building codes, and standards. They can also participate in continuous research and development to improve the technology used in lifts.
Due to the increasing need for safe and efficient vertical transportation systems in buildings, the demand for lift engineers is expected to increase.
