Equipment You'll Want to Work With
State-of-the-art ambulances, and an Elite set of tools you need to do your job well.
Why Elite?
Most EMS jobs ae the same, Elite is different.
When Phil Jones founded this company in 2013, he came from the field: EMS Director, Deputy Sheriff, Paramedic, volunteer firefighter. He built Elite Industrial Services because he'd seen what happens when health & safety gets treated like a checkbox instead of a commitment.
At Elite Industrial Services, you're not a contractor filling a shift. You're embedded in the communities and facilities you serve - you know the people, the geography, and the work. You're part of a team that cares. That's what makes the difference when it counts.
We invest in our people through paid certifications, clear advancement paths, and cross-training opportunities across fire, EMS, rescue, and security disciplines. If you want to grow, there's a road for that here.
