Looking for Lift Electricians info

dbeall's Photo dbeall 19 Feb 2014

Hey guys, I'm not in the industry quite yet but I am very interested. I'm looking for some insight on salaries and qualifications to get into the lift industry (Electric). Currently I am a Master Electrician on the East Coast and want to relocate to the Colorado area. I would like to obtain a job at a ski resort but I am unsure if the salary will be enough for me to afford living in the area. Any info I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Would depend on your low voltage training with PLC's, drives, and DC motors. If the resort maintains building electrical as well, the Master's license would help quite a bit. Best guess 17.50 to 25.00 an hour.
