Job description

Pay: $60/hr starting, $70/hr for experienced leads (+$5/hr if based in El Paso, TX or Titusville, FL)

Schedule: 8 on / 6 off rotation, or Monday–Friday for El Paso/Titusville residents

Home base: Live in any of 34 major U.S. airport cities – we fly you to the work

Employment type: Full-time, direct hire

Why This Role Stands Out

Most A&P jobs make you choose between great pay and where you want to live. This one doesn't. You'll keep a large Learjet 60 fleet flying for a well-established Part 135 executive jet charter operator with 35+ years in business – and you can do it from home base in one of 34 cities across the country.

• Top-tier pay: $60/hr to start, $70/hr for leads, plus overtime readily available
• Real time off: 8 days on, 6 days off, with alternating holidays
• Ownership from day one: Stock options that start vesting your first day
• Travel fully covered: Airline tickets, hotels, and up to $60/day for meals on the company card. Authorized travel time is paid.
• Small crews, high standards: Work next to skilled techs who take pride in the job, in a culture where accountability is expected and egos are left at the door

What You'll Do

• Perform line and heavy maintenance, inspections, troubleshooting, servicing, and repairs on Learjet 60 aircraft
• Complete all work according to manufacturer manuals and FAA-accepted or approved data
• Follow applicable FARs, company procedures (GPM), and the FAA-approved Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program
• Read and interpret aircraft technical manuals and electrical drawings
• Move aircraft in the hangar and on the ramp, including tow-tractor operation
• Join weekly maintenance meetings to review project progress and resolve phase inspection, service, and repair issues with the Director of Maintenance
• Keep a clean, safe, and organized work area

Expect 10–12 hour days in a fast-paced environment.

What You Bring

Required

• FAA Mechanic Certificate with Airframe and Powerplant ratings
• 6+ years of experience meeting 14 CFR Part 65.83 requirements
• Experience with Learjet airframes and Pratt & Whitney PW305A engines
