About The Position

Boeing is hiring aspiring technicians for a company-sponsored, full-time, five-week Integration Specialist Technician apprenticeship in Huntsville, Alabama. The program is an official registered apprenticeship recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor and combines formal learning, on-the-job experience, and mentorship. Apprentices learn Boeing, aerospace, manufacturing, and assembly fundamentals through accelerated instruction, hands-on application, and work with project teams. The program is located on the Drake State Community & Technical College campus.

Apprentices who complete the program and demonstrate the required knowledge and skills may have the opportunity to convert to a union-represented Integration Specialist Technician position. Following conversion, they receive additional training and on-the-job learning tailored to a specific program. The position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. security clearance; an interim U.S. Secret clearance is required before starting, with a final U.S. Secret clearance required after starting. Applicants must satisfy Boeing’s Conflict of Interest assessment process. This is not a safety-sensitive position.

The apprenticeship may be held on first or second shift, depending on session demand; selected candidates will be told their shift before the course begins. After transfer, employees must be able to work any shift based on seniority and work assignment. The site operates three shifts: Monday–Thursday, 6:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Monday–Thursday, 4:30 p.m.–3:00 a.m.; or Friday–Sunday, 6:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m. The next class is scheduled to start February 5, 2027.

The stated summary pay is $18.00 per hour. Successful candidates receive a pay increase after converting to the Integration Specialist Technician position. Eligible employees may have access to benefit programs, generally including health insurance, flexible spending and health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance, and paid and unpaid time away from work. Available programs may vary based on eligibility, location, hire date, and collective bargaining agreements.
