Description

First founded in 1988, and with offices located in Markham, QAE is the largest independently owned and operated elevator company servicing the Greater Toronto Area market.

We currently service over 2500 commercial elevators in a wide variety of building types around the GTA.

These include, but are not limited to, apartments, condominiums, offices, hotels, hospitals, long term care homes, retail, and industrial sites.

Some of our customers include the CBC, Realstar Management Partners, Homestead Land Holdings, Colliers International, GWLRA, Durham College and many others.

As the largest independent elevator service company, we directly employ more than 100 individuals including over 65 licensed field employees, who complete an array of elevator work including preventative maintenance, repair, as well as complete modernization.

As an independently owned and operated elevator company, QAE does not manufacture elevators (or elevator components).

This means we must be able to maintain and repair all makes and models of elevators and have a wide range of technical expertise.

About the Service Desk Administrator:The Service Desk Administrator is the first point of contact for our customers when they are requesting service for their elevator. The impression made by this individual goes a long way in creating trust with our customers. Similarly, the Service Desk Administrator is often the liaison between our customers and their field technician. Relaying critical information to the technician about the location and details of the specific elevator repair need sets us up to fix the problem right the first time. As we are a medium-sized business, most employees must wear multiple hats. This is no different for the Service Desk Administrator who also has general reception duties within their job description. Quality Allied prefers to promote from within. We have many examples of this, and many of our current employees have started at, or spent time working at the Service Desk.
