Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced aircraft structural mechanic to maintain, repair, and modify aircraft structures and structural components. This role requires a strong understanding of airframe and power plant systems, as well as the ability to solve moderate- to complex-level problems using technical documentation such as blueprints and manufacturers' manuals.
Compensation $50 per hour with approved pilot (AP)
$45 per hour without approved pilot
Eligible candidates may receive an additional $600 per week in per diem
Selected Candidates Will Have:
4+ years of on-aircraft heavy structures experience and clear documentation of aircraft platform experience
Demonstrated experience in close tolerance drilling, reaming, removal, and installation on critical support structures (e.g., doublers, triplers, seat tracks, planks, stringers)
Ability to obtain customer approval for aircraft access (dual or prior citizenship may preclude access)
Responsibilities & Duties This mechanic will maintain, repair and modify aircraft structures and structural components of moderate difficulty. The role includes maintaining and repairing aircraft components such as flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components.
