About The Position

PlaneSmart! Aviation is hiring an entry-level Facility Maintenance Technician (FMT) to help keep our hangar and office environment clean, safe, organized, and running smoothly. This is a hands-on role for someone mechanically inclined who takes pride in doing the basics really well—and who’s interested in learning how a business aviation operation works.

Requirements

Entry-level: some experience in facilities, maintenance, warehouse, construction, auto shop, or general “hands-on” work is helpful
Mechanically inclined, dependable, and willing to learn
Comfortable following checklists and documenting what was done (basic notes/photos)

Able to lift/carry typical supplies and be on your feet throughout the day
Valid driver’s license and comfortable making local supply runs

Nice To Haves

Experience with basic hand/power tools
Familiarity with work order systems (even informal)
Interest in aviation, airport operations, or working around aircraft
Growth potential (not a promise, but real exposure)

Restock and organize facility supplies (paper products, cleaning supplies, shop basics)
Run local errands/supply runs as needed
Help keep storage areas, closets, and maintenance supplies organized and inventoried

Submit and track work orders for third-party vendors (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roll-up doors, etc.)
Escort vendors on-site, communicate job needs, and ensure work areas are accessible
Report completion status and any follow-up needs to leadership/ops
Operations Support (Light)
