AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN

*Graduate of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and/or Aeronautical Engineering program with one or two years experience in air frame and power plant maintenance on both narrow and wide-body aircraft; Must be skilled in the use of specialized aircraft testing equipment and hold current U.S. FAA A&P License or an equivalent foreign license; Must be flexible to work any shift in a 24/7 operation, including nights, weekends and holidays

Mechanics must be at least 18 years of age, be fluent in English, and have 30 months of experience to qualify for either the A or the P rating or both (the A&P rating).

Important Qualities

Detail oriented. Mechanics and technicians need to adjust airplane parts to exact specifications. For example, they often use precision tools to tighten wheel bolts to a specified tension.

Dexterity. Mechanics and technicians need to coordinate the movement of their fingers and hands in order to grasp, manipulate, or assemble parts.
Observational skills. Mechanics and technicians must recognize engine noises, read gauges, and collect other information to determine whether an aircraft’s systems are working properly.

Strength. Mechanics and technicians may carry or move heavy equipment or aircraft parts, climb on airplanes, balance, and reach without falling.

Avionics Technician

*Associates Degree or Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and/or Aeronautical Engineering program; FCC license or NCATT certification or an equivalent foreign license; One or two years experience in an avionics/electrical career field; One or two (2) years of accredited schooling in aviation electronics and one or two years related experience; Must be skilled in the use of specialized aircraft testing equipment; Must be able to troubleshoot, maintain and repair basic aircraft wiring; Able to work any shift (Day, Night, Split).

Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Mechanic

*Graduate of technical/vocational course on automotive and diesel engines; Minimum 1-2 years experience in repair and overhaul of gas and diesel engines; Skilled in local parts fabrication; Must be flexible to work any shift in a 24/7 operation, including nights, weekends and holidays, Must have a valid CNMI driver's license, Successful completion of interview required to meet job qualification, Reliable, punctual attendance is an essential function of the position.

Important Qualities

Detail oriented. GSE Mechanics must be aware of small details when inspecting or repairing engines and components, because mechanical and electronic malfunctions are often due to misalignments and other easy-to-miss causes.

Dexterity. Mechanics need a steady hand and good hand–eye coordination for many tasks, such as disassembling engine parts, connecting or attaching components, and using hand tools.

Mechanical skills. GSE Mechanics must be familiar with engine components and systems and know how they interact with each other. They often disassemble major parts for repairs, and they must be able to put them back together properly.

Organizational skills. GSE Mechanics must keep workspaces clean and organized in order to maintain safety and accountability for parts.

Physical strength. GSE Mechanics often lift heavy parts and tools, such as exhaust system components and pneumatic wrenches.

Troubleshooting skills. GSE Mechanics use diagnostic equipment on engine systems and components in order to identify and fix problems in mechanical and electronic systems. They must be familiar with electronic control systems and the appropriate tools needed to fix and maintain them.
