Adams Communication & Engineering Technology, Inc.•Goldsboro, NC

About The Position

This position is awaiting contract award. We are seeking a highly skilled Aircraft Mechanic II - Structures to perform moderate-to-complex structural maintenance, repairs, and modifications to ensure mission fleet readiness. In this role, you will apply comprehensive technical expertise to troubleshoot airframe and powerplant systems, with a specialized focus on sheet metal and aircraft structures. As a Tier II Mechanic, you will be expected to prioritize workloads to meet strict operational schedules, provide technical data inputs for engineering changes, and occasionally lead maintenance teams through complex, mission-critical tasks. You will also hold inspection authority over Mechanic I and II peers.

Requirements

Must possess or be able to obtain a Department of Defense (DoD) Secret Security Clearance to access the airfield and military installation.
Combined experience in general mechanical maintenance, structural sheet metal repair, and complex aircraft troubleshooting.
Advanced working knowledge of technical publications, manufacturer manuals, blueprints, and the ability to accurately complete entries in aircraft logs and records.
Demonstrated expertise using sheet metal shop equipment (shears, brakes) and precision diagnostic tools (micrometers, dial indicators).
Proven ability to manage project timelines, prioritize shifting workloads, and guide junior technicians through demanding maintenance workflows.
While structured primarily around sheet metal and airframe repair, basic knowledge of electrical theory or avionics is highly valued for cross-functional support.

Responsibilities

Maintain, repair, and modify complex aircraft structures, sheet metal configurations, and structural components of moderate difficulty.
Apply technical knowledge to diagnose malfunctions and restore airframe and powerplant systems, including flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components.
Actively contribute technical data for Maintenance Engineering Changes (MEC) and Estimated Cost of Damage (ECOD) reports, and assist in recommending changes to Modification Work Orders (MWO).
Prioritize project workloads, lead maintenance teams through complex tasks, and exercise authority to inspect and sign off on work performed by Mechanic I and II team members.
Solve moderate-to-complex technical issues by interpreting and applying engineering blueprints, technical publications, aircraft logs, and manufacturer manuals.
Safely and accurately operate specialized aircraft tools and precision instruments, including test equipment, torque wrenches, dial indicators, micrometers, sheet metal brakes, and shears.
Apply basic electrical theory and proper structural techniques to ensure all modifications comply with strict aviation safety regulations and military/commercial standards.
