Elevator operator information


The Smith Tower in Seattle, Washington uses traditional elevator operators, as seen in this 2008 photo.

An elevator operator (North American English), liftman (in Commonwealth English, usually lift attendant), or lift girl (in British English), is a person specifically employed to operate a manually operated elevator.[1]

While largely considered an obsolete occupation, elevator operators continue to work in historic installations and fill modern-day niches.
