The ideal candidate will bring precision, technical expertise, and a commitment to safety and quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform detailed inspections of aircraft structural components for signs of fatigue, cracks, corrosion, and other stress-related damage.
• Carry out fatigue-specific maintenance and repairs on fuselage, wings, empennage, and landing gear attachment points.
• Execute structural modifications and reinforcements in accordance with service bulletins, engineering orders, and FAA-approved data.
• Work with Engineering and NDT personnel to identify and confirm damage or potential failure areas.
• Remove and replace structural elements using OEM-approved techniques including riveting, bonding, and composite repairs.
• Accurately document work performed and findings in compliance with FAA and company standards.
• Interpret and work from engineering drawings, structural repair manuals (SRMs), and maintenance manuals.
• Participate in aircraft life-extension programs and fatigue life tracking initiatives.
• Ensure all work meets strict quality control and safety standards.

Minimum Requirements

• Valid FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Certification.
• High school diploma or equivalent; advanced technical training preferred.
• Proficient with structural repair practices: riveting, sheet metal, composites, corrosion prevention.
• Knowledge of fatigue behavior in aircraft structures and repair methods.
• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and technical manuals.
• Familiarity with FAA regulations, Airworthiness Directives (ADs), and OEM service bulletins related to structural issues.
• Ability to provide tools required for the position.
• Ability to pass required drug screening and background checks and obtain and maintain airfield access clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum of 4 years of A&P experience, with at least 3 years in structural repair or fatigue inspection work.
• Experience with non-destructive testing coordination (e.g., eddy current, ultrasonic, dye penetrant).
• Previous work in OEM, military, or MRO fatigue or structural maintenance programs.
• Inspection Authorization (IA) or structural certification(s) a plus.
• Experience with digital maintenance systems (e.g., CAMP, TRAX, AMOS).
• Hydraulic systems experience.
• Ability to work independently.
• Structural test experience.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
• Comfortable working in confined spaces or on elevated platforms when needed.

Work Environment

• Exposure to high-decibel test environments, moving mechanical parts, and temperature variations.
• PPE (personal protective equipment) required during specific tasks.

What We Offer

• Work on cutting-edge aerospace technologies.
• Be part of a dedicated and innovative team supporting aircraft safety and development.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
