Help Students Launch Careers in Aviation

Every career has the potential to change a life—but some careers let you help change lives every single day.

At Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) , our Admissions Representatives are often the first person a prospective student speaks with about a future in aviation maintenance. Whether someone is pursuing a lifelong passion for aircraft or looking for a new career with long-term stability, you'll help them understand their options, answer their questions, and confidently navigate the enrollment process.

This is more than an admissions role. It's a consultative sales position where success comes from building relationships, earning trust, and guiding prospective students from their first inquiry through enrollment. If your background includes inside sales, admissions, recruiting, enrollment, customer service, or account management , you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while achieving measurable performance goals.

Every student you enroll represents someone taking the first step toward becoming an FAA-certified aviation maintenance technician and joining an industry that keeps aircraft flying safely around the world. If you're motivated by helping people, exceeding goals, and making a lasting difference, we'd love to have you on our team.
