Key responsibilities

  • Perform inspections of elevators, escalators, and related conveyance systems to verify compliance with applicable codes, regulations, and safety standards.

  • Evaluate equipment and installations for compliance, investigate deficiencies, and prepare detailed inspection reports.

  • Interpret and explain applicable codes, regulations, standards, and inspection requirements to clients, contractors, and stakeholders.

Job description

Department: Vertical Transportation
Lerch Bates is seeking a Certification Inspector to join our NYC Vertical Transportation team. In this role, you will perform inspections of elevators, escalators, and related conveyance systems to verify compliance with applicable codes, regulations, and safety standards. Your expertise will play a critical role in helping building owners, contractors, property managers, and regulatory agencies ensure the safe operation of vertical transportation equipment.
As a Certification Inspector, you will conduct inspections of new and existing equipment, evaluate compliance with applicable codes and standards, investigate deficiencies, and prepare detailed inspection reports. You will serve as a trusted technical resource while working closely with building owners, contractors, architects, code officials, and other stakeholders throughout the inspection process.
Become an Employee-Owner
One of the biggest advantages of working at Lerch Bates is that we are 100% employee-owned through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
Unlike many companies that offer only a salary and retirement plan, eligible employees receive company-funded ESOP shares at no cost to them as part of their long-term retirement benefits.
As Lerch Bates grows, employee-owners share in the company's success. For many employees, the ESOP becomes one of the most valuable financial benefits of their career by helping build meaningful long-term wealth in addition to their salary and traditional 401(k).
When you join Lerch Bates, you are not just building better buildings. You also have the opportunity to build your financial future alongside the company's success.
About Lerch Bates:
Lerch Bates (LB) is a global technical consulting firm focused on improving how buildings perform for owners, designers, and the people who use them every day. For more than 75 years we've partnered on some of the world's most complex and high-profile projects. Today we provide Total Building Performance expertise that integrates Building Science and Building Flow into a unified delivery model.
Our work spans design, construction, investigation, repair, rehabilitation, management, and modernization with one consistent goal: helping clients make confident, well-informed decisions in an increasingly complex built environment.
We are 100% employee-owned through our ESOP. That means when the company succeeds, our employee-owners share in that success. It's more than a retirement benefit-it's an ownership mindset backed by the opportunity to build long-term financial value while helping shape the future of the company.
