Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair passenger elevators (typically 1–2 units, MRL or MR) to ensure safe, reliable, code-compliant operation. Deliver scheduled preventive maintenance, rapid breakdown response, statutory safety tests, documentation, and handover support—aligned with UAE Fire & Life Safety Code, EN 81-20/50 (or project standard), and local authority/consultant requirements—while accounting for Sharjah weather and traffic/logistics constraints.
Machine/MRL gear/gearless machines, controllers & VVVF drives, governors & safety gear, ropes/belts & sheaves, buffers, guide rails & lubrication, door operators & locks/safety circuits, COP/LOP & indicators, ARD/UPS, emergency phone/auto-dialer, ventilation fans, pit equipment, limit switches, overspeed & final limits, fire recall interface.
Execute monthly/quarterly PM per OEM plan: clean/lube/adjust doors, rollers, locks, guide rail lubrication, brake torque checks, rope/belt wear & tension, limit switch alignment, pit & car top housekeeping.
Inspect/controller checks: error logs, drive parameters, cooling/filters, earthing, connectors, fans, batteries/ARD.
Test safety circuits (door locks, final limits, governor switch, stop switches), alarm/phone, cabin lighting & ventilation.
Diagnose faults (electrical/mechanical/control); repair/replace operators, rollers, sensors, belts/ropes (as permitted), boards, relays, contactors, pushbuttons, displays.
Clear entrapments using approved procedures; coordinate with building security; record root cause and corrective actions.
Escalate complex controller/drive/encoder faults to OEM engineering when required.
Perform scheduled overspeed governor tests, safety gear and buffer tests, door force and re-opening checks, emergency rescue & ARD verification.
Verify fire recall logic with Fire Alarm team; ensure recall floor, fan/damper interlocks, and signal loss behavior meet project cause-&-effect.
Keep all safety labels, guards, and interlocks in place; lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) for electrical works.
Complete service sheets, breakdown reports, spare-part usage, checklists, and logbook entries; update tag numbers and serials.
Provide data for O&M manuals, spares lists, and training records; assist with DLP close-out and acceptance reports.
Coordinate with consultant/owner for inspections and access; support Sharjah Municipality/Civil Defense inspection visits when scheduled through the vendor/PM.
Communicate clearly on downtime, risks, and expected restoration steps.
Keep critical spares (rollers, door belts, sensors, contactors, batteries, fuses) available; maintain calibrated tools/testers.
Maintain tidy machine room/car top/pit; protect finished areas during works.
Work at height on car top with fall protection; use insulated tools, gloves, eye/ear protection; manage hot surfaces and rotating machinery.
Keep access doors locked; enforce exclusion zones during tests; maintain good lighting and ventilation in machine/shaft spaces.
Heat & Humidity:
Plan rooftop/machine-room works early morning/evening; comply with MOHRE summer midday break.
Monitor controller/drive temperature & fans; ensure adequate ventilation; check battery/ARD health in high ambient; allow extended cure/set times for sealants/adhesives.
Dust/Sand:
Clean door tracks, encoder areas, controller filters, and pit; keep enclosures closed; protect moving parts from grit to reduce door faults and sensor errors.
Occasional Rain/Coastal Effects:
Inspect pits and shaft penetrations for water ingress; verify sump pump operation; use corrosion-resistant fasteners where specified.
Traffic & Logistics:
Schedule off-peak deliveries for large parts; coordinate SRTA/Police permits if any curbside lifting is needed; maintain clear internal routes and lift car protection during component transfer.
5–8 years elevator maintenance/repair (UAE/GCC preferred) with OEM training on MRL/MR controllers & drives.
Strong diagnostics with multimeter/megger, fault codes, encoder alignment, door operator setup, rope/belt inspection, brake/torque checks.
Knowledge of EN 81-20/50 (or project standard), UAE Fire & Life Safety interfaces (fire recall/ARD), and basic electrical safety.
Basic English for reports and coordination (Arabic/Urdu/Hindi an advantage). Valid UAE driving license preferred.
Multimeter & insulation tester (megger), tachometer, vibration/level meter, laptop/OEM diagnostic tool, torque wrench/feeler gauges, door force gauge, rope tension gauge (if applicable), handheld vacuum/cleaning kit, portable work lights, PPE (harness, helmet, gloves, safety shoes, eye/ear protection).
Systematic fault finding & first-time fix mindset
Door system tuning & ride quality optimization
Safety test execution and documentation discipline
Clear communication with occupants/management
Housekeeping and protection of finishes
