Installation & Service
Install and keep specialized systems working
These careers involve installing, testing, maintaining and repairing specialized equipment used in homes, businesses, institutions and public spaces. You might work with elevators, alarms, communications networks, doors, appliances, medical equipment, pools, signs or onsite wastewater systems. Some careers have established apprenticeships; others are learned mainly through paid employer training, technical education, manufacturer instruction and supervised field experience.
How to explore this category
- Explore elevators, powered doors or garage doors if mechanical movement, controls and precise adjustment interest you
- Explore fire alarms, security, access control, telecommunications or smart buildings if you like low-voltage systems, networks and electronics
- Explore appliances, commercial kitchen equipment, medical equipment or vending machines if diagnosis and field repair appeal to you
- Explore fencing, signs, playgrounds, pools, chimneys or septic service if you prefer varied sites, visible results and customer service
What is an apprenticeship
An apprenticeship is a paid job where you learn from experienced workers and take related classes. In a Registered Apprenticeship, your training follows an approved plan and your pay usually increases as your skills grow. Not every specialty installation or service career uses apprenticeship, so always ask the employer or program sponsor exactly how the training works.
