• Complete assigned tasks within estimated labor hours while holding quality standards.
• Complete company and OEM training on the aircraft models we maintain.

• 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.
