About The Position

Maintains and repairs aircraft components including but not limited to flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components. This role involves replacing or repairing worn or damaged components, such as carburetors, alternators, magnetos, fuel controls, fuel pumps, oil pumps, and engine mounted gearboxes, and compressor bleed valves using hand tools, gauges, and testing equipment. The mechanic will also remove engines from aircraft, disassemble and inspect parts for wear, cracks, security, or other defects, and repair or replace defective engine parts, then reassemble and install the engine in the aircraft. Additionally, the role includes adjusting, repairing, or replacing electrical wiring systems and aircraft accessories, performing various preflight, through-flight, and post-flight maintenance inspections, and performing miscellaneous duties to service aircraft, such as flushing crankcases, cleaning screens and filters, greasing moving parts, and checking brakes. The mechanic will apply technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems to determine equipment malfunctions and restore equipment to operational condition. This position requires the ability to interpret technical documentation like blueprints or manufacturers’ manuals to solve moderate to complex problems. The role also involves supervising the jacking and towing of aircraft, verifying satisfactory work completion, and potentially servicing engines and airframe components at line stations, making repairs short of overhaul to keep aircraft in safe operating condition. Specialization in work, repair, and modification of structural, precision, and functional spare parts and assemblies, or engine repair, may be required. The mechanic may be required to make entries in aircraft logs and records and must prioritize workload to maintain schedules on assigned projects. Compliance with COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2 series applicable to aircraft maintenance and ALSS is mandatory. Other responsibilities may be assigned as needed.
