About The Position

The Composite Mechanic will identify, assess, repair and/or replace any damage to composite aircraft components including, but not limited to, flight control surfaces, pylons, access panels, fuselage and engine cowls. This role involves performing skilled manual and technical work as instructed, reading and understanding aircraft manufacturers' design drawings and data (SRM, AMM, IPC), and implementing maintenance manual instructions. The mechanic will identify the structural composition of aircraft (e.g., aluminum or composite) before performing any work and execute proper repairs on various aircraft parts like fiberglass, graphite, carbon fiber, and aluminum structures. Familiarity with resins, film adhesives, pre-pregs, fiberglass cloth types, core types, and materials is essential. The position requires performing complex repair layouts with minimal guidance and advanced composite repairs, including metal-to-metal bonding, without assistance. Experience with basic hot bond repairs, including damage assessment, removal, surface preparation, lay-up, bagging, and finishing, is also necessary. The role demands the ability to work independently or with others with minimal supervision and in an expeditious manner to meet deadlines. Effective verbal and written communication skills are required, along with the ability to perform daily transactions within Flightstar’s ERP system and vending (POU), and research customer maintenance manuals.
