Aircraft Mechanic III (UH-60)
About The Position
The Aircraft Mechanic III performs scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on UH-60 aircraft, including inspections, repairs, and modifications to aircraft structures, structural components, engines, and mechanical systems. The work ranges from complex to extremely difficult and involves troubleshooting aircraft systems and components such as flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and other mechanical components. The mechanic applies airframe and power plant technical knowledge to identify malfunctions and resolve problems using technical data, including blueprints and manufacturers’ manuals. The role includes preflight, thru-flight, basic post-flight, and phase inspections; launching and recovering aircraft as required; conducting operational checks; maintaining aircraft appearance and cleanliness; and performing ground movement of aircraft. The mechanic uses applicable ground-support equipment, hand tools, special tools, and fixtures, and documents maintenance actions in aircraft records and forms, including associated CAMS entries. The position also requires maintaining good housekeeping, tool control, foreign object damage awareness and prevention, and safety practices. Other qualified duties may be assigned. The mechanic must be able to inspect maintenance performed by Mechanic I personnel and have experience sufficient to repair engines, sheet metal, structures, hydraulics, electrical systems, power trains, and general mechanical systems of moderate difficulty in support of assigned missions. The position requires travel as needed for LUH missions. Compensation is listed as USD $44.45; the posting does not specify whether this is an hourly or other rate.
