Job summary

Yingling Aviation is hiring A&P mechanics for a 7th shift on-site role in Wichita, KS. The pay is $35.00-$57.00 per hour, with grade-based rates and a $3 shift differential on all 40 hours. A $2,500 sign-on bonus is offered, plus a clear ladder from $32 to $48 per hour by experience.

We welcome new graduates and seasoned technicians alike. Expect comprehensive training, strict safety standards and opportunities to advance within the Citation Maintenance department.

Qualifications

• Valid FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certificate. Recent A&P school graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Aircraft maintenance experience is welcome but not required - it sets your starting grade (see the table below).
• Working knowledge of the FARs that govern maintenance, including Part 145 repair stations.
• Able to use maintenance manuals, parts catalogs, task cards and maintenance tracking systems.
• Careful, complete documentation habits, and a clean safety record.
• Reliable attendance, punctuality and shift discipline.
• Can be trusted to work without management supervision: you make sound decisions on your own, manage your own time, and get the work done right and on time.
• Able to work 7th shift on a regular basis and to work independently with little or no management on site.

Responsibilities

• Perform maintenance, inspections, repairs, modifications and operational checks on Cessna Citation business jets in accordance with FAA regulations, manufacturer manuals and company procedures.
• Troubleshoot aircraft systems and resolve discrepancies to their root cause, not just the symptom.
• Work to the standard our Quality Assurance department inspects against - inspection and return to service are issued by QA under our repair station certificate.
• Prepare maintenance records that are accurate, legible and complete before inspection, and record your time and work performed in Corridor.
• Complete assigned tasks within estimated labor hours while holding quality standards.
• Complete company and OEM training on the aircraft models we maintain.
• Coordinate with Quality Assurance, Planning, Engineering and Parts, and keep your crew lead informed on status, delays and discovered work.
• Conduct pre- and post-flight inspections, perform routine maintenance checks to approved data, and service oxygen, nitrogen and air-conditioning systems.
• Inspect, service and repair fuel, hydraulic, pneumatic and environmental control systems, and maintain landing gear, brakes, wheels and tires.
• Check and adjust control cable tensions, install and rig flight controls, troubleshoot electrical and avionics malfunctions, and perform battery capacity checks.
• At the senior grades: advanced troubleshooting, engine runs, special projects and modifications, owning inspection events end to end, and training and mentoring junior mechanics.
• Keep your work moving through the shift without waiting on management: make the call, document it, and elevate only what truly needs the Supervisor or Department Manager.
• Give and receive a clear shift turnover, so work carries cleanly from one shift to the next.
