Position Summary

On Call Aviation is seeking a motivated FAA-certificated Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Mechanic to join our growing aviation maintenance team at John C. Tune Airport in Nashville.

This position is ideal for an A&P who enjoys hands‑on aviation maintenance and wants the opportunity to work on a variety of aircraft.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, communicates well, pays attention to detail, and understands that providing excellent aircraft maintenance also means providing excellent service to the aircraft owner.

Responsibilities

• Perform scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance.
• Assist with and perform annual and 100-hour inspections.
• Perform preventive maintenance and routine servicing.
• Troubleshoot aircraft mechanical and electrical discrepancies.
• Perform aircraft repairs and component replacements.
• Conduct oil changes, lubrication, filter inspections, and other routine maintenance.
• Assist with pre‑buy aircraft inspections.
• Perform maintenance in accordance with applicable FAA regulations, manufacturer maintenance manuals, service instructions, and approved technical data.
• Properly document maintenance performed and complete aircraft maintenance records.
• Identify discrepancies and clearly communicate findings to management.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
• Properly use and maintain tools, equipment, and shop resources.
• Assist with mobile and off‑site maintenance when required.
• Work collaboratively with other technicians to return aircraft to service safely and efficiently.

Qualifications

Required:

• Current FAA Mechanic Certificate with Airframe and Powerplant ratings.
• Basic understanding of aircraft systems and maintenance practices.
• Ability to read and understand aircraft maintenance manuals, illustrated parts catalogs, service bulletins, and technical documentation.
• Ability to safely use common aircraft maintenance tools and equipment.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Good communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.

• Must provide basic personal hand tools appropriate for the position.

Preferred, But Not Required

• Previous aviation maintenance experience.
• Experience with Piston aircraft.
• Experience with turbine and jet aircraft.
• Inspection Authorization (IA).
• Avionics and electrical troubleshooting experience.

Newly certificated and entry‑level A&P mechanics are encouraged to apply. We are willing to train the right candidate who has a strong work ethic, good mechanical aptitude, and a desire to build a career in general aviation maintenance.

Physical Requirements

The position requires the ability to perform normal aircraft maintenance activities, including standing for extended periods, climbing ladders, working underneath and inside aircraft, using hand and power tools, and lifting aircraft components, equipment, and supplies as reasonably required for the position.

What We Offer

At On Call Aviation, you’ll have the opportunity to work in a growing general aviation maintenance operation where you can gain experience across multiple aircraft types rather than performing the same task every day.

We Offer

• $28–$41/hour, depending on experience
• Health insurance contribution
• 3 weeks paid time off
• Full-time employment
• Hands-on experience with a variety of aircraft
• Opportunities to expand your troubleshooting and inspection experience
• A smaller-team environment where your work makes a direct impact
• Opportunities for professional growth as On Call Aviation continues to expand

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for more than someone who can turn a wrench. We want someone who is dependable, professional, willing to learn, and takes ownership of the quality of their work.

Our goal is to provide aircraft owners with maintenance that is:

Professional. Responsive. Reliable.

Pay: $28.00 - $41.00 per hour

• Health insurance
• Paid time off
