About The Position

Aircraft Mechanics II are responsible for a combination of experience in repairing engines, sheet metal, structural, hydraulic, electrical, power train, and general mechanical maintenance of moderate difficulty to meet assigned missions. They provide input for Maintenance Engineering Changes (MEC) and Estimated Cost of Damage (ECOD) preparation, and assist in recommending changes to Maintenance Work Orders (MWO). Individuals must prioritize workloads and lead teams through complex aircraft-related tasks. Mechanic IIs inspect the work of Mechanic IIs and Is. This role involves maintaining, repairing, and modifying aircraft structures and components, including flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components. It requires applying technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems to diagnose and resolve equipment malfunctions, using technical documentation like blueprints and manufacturer 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 electrical theory, and aircraft-specific tools. Working knowledge of technical publications is required. Technicians receive technical guidance from supervisors or higher-level technicians, may lead teams on complex tasks, and might make entries in aircraft logs and records. Prioritization of workload to meet schedules is crucial. Specialization in sheet-metal, electrical work, avionics, or other aircraft systems may be required.
