Your Day

Morning starts at the airport tarmac. You review your work orders, load the service van, and roll out to the next gate. One hour you’re fine-tuning a belt loader’s hydraulic system; the next, you’re diagnosing electrical issues on a deicer. By afternoon, you’ve logged repairs, tested performance, and coordinated with ramp teams to return equipment to service—safely and on time.

• Use diagnostic tools and manuals to pinpoint issues.
• Operate and test ground equipment to verify performance.
• Complete documentation and track parts usage accurately.
• Champion safe work practices and PrimeFlight’s customer service standards.

• Clear, professional communication with colleagues and clients, in person and electronically.
• Personal hand tools and toolbox.
• Willingness to work a flexible schedule when airline operations require, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
• Capability to obtain necessary credentials/clearances (FAA, RAIC, TSA, Port Authority, U.S. Customs, U.S. Postal—as applicable).
• Verbatim legal requirement: Must be legally authorized to work in the country of employment.
