Zusammenfassung

Yingling Aviation, Inc. in Wichita, KS seeks a Lead Mechanic for the 7th shift to lead a maintenance crew while staying hands-on. You will ensure safe, compliant work on large-cabin jets and mentor junior technicians.

The role pays per A&P grade plus lead pay, with shift differentials and a $2,500 sign-on bonus. Responsibilities include coordinating daily maintenance, scheduling, and ensuring paperwork accuracy, while meeting FAA regulations and customer expectations.

Qualifikationen

• Valid FAA A&P certificate.
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant aircraft maintenance experience, ideally on large-cabin business jets.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in a lead or similar position — crew lead, shift lead, lead mechanic, military NCO or equivalent.
• Able to assign daily work, improve workflow and keep a crew productive.
• Strong knowledge of FAA regulations and repair station requirements.
• Track record of meeting labor, quality and on-time delivery targets, and of minimizing rework and quality escapes.
• Record of developing less experienced mechanics.
• Clear communication with the Supervisor, Project Managers, customers, and QA, Planning, Parts and Sales.
• 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.

Aufgaben

• Lead and coordinate daily maintenance activities on assigned aircraft, while actively performing maintenance, inspection, troubleshooting and repair work yourself.
• Assign tasks and priorities to the technicians and mechanics on your crew based on project schedules and manpower.
• Provide technical guidance, training and mentorship to less experienced technicians and mechanics.
• Ensure all work meets FAA regulations, manufacturer data and company procedures, and verify documentation is complete before it goes to Quality Assurance for inspection.
• Review the discrepancies your crew writes up, and estimate labor hours and parts costs for quoting.
• Make sure technicians are clocked to the correct work order item in Corridor, monitor flat rates, and see that paperwork — CAMP cards and Corridor entries — is completed correctly every day.
• Monitor progress and report status to the Supervisor and Project Manager, assist with labor utilization planning, and clear workflow interruptions to hold schedule commitments.
• Coordinate with Quality Assurance, Planning, Engineering and Parts to resolve maintenance issues, and assist during customer visits and project reviews.
• Own manpower and daily scheduling for the crew, and help manage aircraft flow across crews.
• Lead root cause and corrective action investigations on quality escapes, and drive first-time quality.
• Lead safety meetings and continuous-improvement efforts, and help the department hold to its budget.
• Develop the mechanics on your crew and contribute to their performance evaluations.
• Serve as the senior point of contact in the hangar on your shift: make the day-to-day decisions, keep the crew productive and safe, and elevate only what truly needs the Supervisor or Department Manager.
• Write a clear end-of-shift turnover for the next crew and the Supervisor — status, open discrepancies, parts and anything that needs a decision.
