About The Position

The Aircraft Mechanic II (Engines) position requires a combination of experience in repairing engines, sheet metal, and structural, hydraulic, electrical, power train, and general mechanical maintenance of moderate difficulty to meet assigned missions. This role involves providing input to Maintenance Engineering Changes (MEC) and Estimated Cost of Damage (ECOD) preparation, and assisting in the recommendation of changes to Maintenance Work Orders (MWO). The individual must be able to prioritize workloads and lead teams through complex aircraft-related tasks. This mechanic maintains, repairs, and modifies aircraft structures and components, including flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components. They apply technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems to diagnose and resolve equipment malfunctions, using technical documentation like blueprints and manufacturer's manuals. A thorough knowledge of aircraft mechanical component troubleshooting, repair procedures, and parts replacement is essential, along with broad knowledge of aircraft sheet metal/structural modifications and repair. Basic knowledge of electrical theory and thorough knowledge of aircraft-specific tools are also required. The incumbent receives technical guidance from supervisors, may lead teams, and may make entries in aircraft logs and records. This role requires prioritizing workloads to maintain schedules and may involve specialization in sheet-metal, electrical work, avionics, or other aircraft systems disciplines. Specifically, this role involves troubleshooting, modifying, repairing, and performing disassembly/assembly of F100-PW-100/200/220/229 series engines, performing scheduled and unscheduled engine inspections according to applicable Technical Data, and performing command-directed and locally established in-process inspections of propulsion system components. The mechanic will certify completion of all work, perform critical engine build measurements, analyze malfunctions using various diagrams and data, and perform/assist with test cell operations for uninstalled engines, ensuring they operate within acceptable parameters. Maintenance and documentation on Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) related to supported aircraft engines are also part of the responsibilities.
