The mechanic services, troubleshoots, repairs, and modifies aircraft systems to ensure continued airworthiness, including avionics and electrical systems, engines, flight controls, and airframe components. Repairs use hand and power tools and equipment such as shears, sheet-metal brakes, welding equipment, rivet guns, and drills. The role includes maintaining aircraft records, using computerized maintenance software, conducting aircraft recovery missions as needed, and performing engine runs or taxi operations. Certification for engine run or taxi operations must be obtained within 12 months of employment. The mechanic reads and interprets manufacturers’ maintenance manuals, service bulletins, and other specifications to determine whether and how malfunctioning or damaged components can be repaired or replaced. The position requires compliance with applicable FAA regulations, DA PAM 738-751, and the contract performance work statement.

Certain aircraft operations require a pre-employment physical examination and periodic examinations, no more than five years apart; BMI below 40 is required. The role requires movement through the aircraft interior and the unpressurized area aft of the aft pressure bulkhead, compliance with aircraft-specific weight limits, and the ability to stand, squat, sit, walk, work with arms overhead for extended periods, and push, pull, and lift up to 50 pounds. The listed compensation is $48.11 per hour, presented as a good-faith estimate.
