From what I’m told Otis will be hiring enough to put together 50 crews so if that’s 3 apprentices to one mechanic that’s 150 right there and that’s only one company 3 per one mechanic might be stretching it but good for a solid 100. So I’m not sure why the secretary said 100 tops, from what I have learned that’s just not true. From the NEBA Agreement: "Article X Par. 2. The total number of Helpers, Apprentices and Assistant Mechanics employed shall not exceed the number of Mechanics on any one job, except on jobs where two teams or more are working, one extra Helper, Apprentice or Assistant Mechanic may be employed for the first two teams and an extra Helper,Apprentice or Assistant Mechanic for each additional three teams.Further, the Company may use as many Helpers, Apprentices and Assistant Mechanics as best suits his convenience under the direction of a Mechanic in wrecking old plants and in handling and hoisting material, and on foundation work. When removing old and installing new cables on existing elevator installations, the Company may use two Helpers, Apprentices or Assistant Mechanics to one Mechanic." Rule of thumb: One Mechanic One Helper.

“ Ithink it's just how well you grade. Dont think experience has any on role. Maybe osha 10 cert, which I have. I know someone who got a 93 and they were in the 80s. Not many points separate 91.5/109 to a rank in the 60's... I'll assume he got a 94 or 94.5. That tool assessment was also part of the interview grade... an excellent group of people took this test in Vegas.... nothing we could've done about that. “Applicants will be scored based upon Education, Work Experience, Oral Interview, and Tool Assessment, and will be placed on a ranked list, with the highest scoring individual being placed at the top of the list. All applicants of the results, and applicants will be placed as apprentices based on their rank in this pool of eligible candidates. Applicants not selected for employment will remain on the ranked list for a period of two years. Employment as an Elevator Constructor presents an extremely challenging, yet highly rewarding career to individuals with strong ambition, solid skills, and a willingness to learn. Our Apprenticeship Training Program provides highly qualified mechanics to an industry that insists on superior quality and craftsmanship. We wish all applicants the best of luck as you apply for work in our industry. “ - local 18 website

Shoot I got an electrical "tech math" cert, 1 year of electrical experience, welding school I just started, a rigging cert,OSHA 30, forklift cert,twic cert, Rso cert. Tool assessment was easy, I guess I messed up the easiest part, the oral interview..

Travis, general rule of thumb is one apprentice to one mechanic. Yes, on bigger jobs they will sometimes have a floating helper or two, AKA 8 two man crews may have an additional 2-3 apprentices on the job site. Just because there are 18 elevators in a building dont assume that's 18 crews. Up in my neck of the woods we would do it with around 5 crews, depending on tme and space constraints.
The good news for all you Vegas guys is the legalized marijuana. We have had so many in the top 20% fail drug tests up here. Without knowing the true work load, or quality of applicants, I would think if you score in the top 35-40% of that list, you have a decent chance at being called within the next 12 months.
For those outside that number, of course there is Crap to do. Go get some sort of education that relates. Welding, go learn hydraulic theory, be proficient with hand tools, including metric, hoisting and rigging, learn how to tie a knot. Education is the biggest, no one can ever take that from you. Go test in another area. This isn't a job, it is a career....get in, do well, and you and your family are set for life.
