We operate at the intersection of real estate, technology, and media—bringing a sophisticated, modern content layer to Class A and top-tier properties nationwide.

Our platform is built for quality, reliability, and scale, delivering a premium experience that enhances property value, connects brands with affluent urban audiences, and sets a new standard in the U.S. DOOH market. Backed by experienced leadership and significant long-term investment, Life Space Digital is expanding rapidly across major U.S. cities. We are building a team of operators, technologists, and creators committed to precision, performance, and operational excellence as we lead the next chapter of premium digital out-of-home media.

We are seeking a skilled Elevator Mechanic with a minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience to install and maintain digital screens inside elevator cabs and lobbies across New York City. Licensed and unlicensed candidates are welcome to apply.

What you'll do:

• Execute installations within scheduled access windows coordinated by the operations team, using proper lockout/tagout procedures to stop the elevator safely, ensuring all work is completed on time and elevator service is fully restored upon completion

• Install digital screens inside elevator cabs and lobbies using mounting methods that are fully non-invasive — the only interface with the elevator is a single power connection; no modifications to mechanical, electrical control, or safety systems of any kind

• Ensure all installations comply with ASME A17.1 cab interior requirements and NYC DOB standards, with zero impact on elevator certification or inspection status

• Assess each elevator cab prior to installation to confirm that screen placement, cable management, and mounting hardware meet code requirements and will not trigger re-inspection obligations

• Route and manage power connections cleanly and professionally, maintaining full separation from elevator control and operational wiring

• Work with building staff to coordinate access as needed; familiarity with building protocols and elevator maintenance vendors is a plus

• Troubleshoot screen hardware, power connections, and content delivery systems post-installation

• Maintain detailed installation records for each property, including photos, cab dimensions, mounting specifications, and completion documentation

Who you are:

• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience working inside elevator cabs, mechanical rooms, or related building systems — licensed and unlicensed candidates are welcome to apply

• Strong understanding of elevator cab interior standards and NYC DOB requirements as they relate to non-structural modifications

• Experience working alongside or coordinating with elevator maintenance companies preferred

• Comfortable working in confined spaces, at heights, and in elevator pits as needed

• Capable of lifting up to 50 lbs and performing physically demanding installation work

• Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to clean, professional workmanship

• Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently across multiple properties

• Strong communication skills for coordinating with building staff and management

Licenses & Certifications:

• NYC Elevator Mechanic License issued by the NYC Department of Buildings is a plus but not required

• OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety certification preferred

• Valid New York State driver's license

We offer comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees, including:
