Senior A&P Mechanic - Corporate Jets

GPAC

Senior A&P Technician

Are you a seasoned A&P Mechanic with extensive experience across corporate turbine aircraft who thrives in an environment built on true loyalty, high-end service, and deep-rooted core values?

We are representing a premier, highly respected aircraft management and sales organization with a long-standing history of excellence in the corporate aviation sector. Managing a high-caliber fleet of light to large-cabin business jets for prominent corporate clients, this company operates a unique, boutique management model where the customer and the employee always come first.

Due to long-term team retirements, we are seeking a Senior A&P Technician (7+ Years Experience) to join a tight-knit flight and maintenance department that offers top-tier compensation, unmatched job security, and next-level employee care.

This is not a typical high-turnover MRO or corporate maintenance shop. The culture is centered on loyalty, friendship, and extraordinary personal support:

  • Zero Layoff Track Record: If a client sells or transitions an aircraft, technicians are retained. Your long-term stability is guaranteed.
  • Extremely Generous Leadership: Legendary owner support and deep commitment to the teamdemonstrated through extraordinary acts of care:
    • Full Salary During Family Emergencies: When an employee's child broke his C4 vertebra in his spine and required an extended 3-month recovery, the owner continued paying the employee's full salary for the entire 3 months as if he had never left.
    • Dream Rewards & Bucket-List Experiences: When a dedicated employee had never used his PTO, the owner took him on a 3-day helicopter skiing tripfulfilling a lifelong personal dream.
  • Family & Work-Life Priority: While this is a high-touch corporate aviation role requiring flexibility for morning/evening departures, leadership actively supports family lifeensuring you never miss your kids' important milestones, games, or life events.
  • "If It's Broke, Fix It": No cutting corners or begging for budget. Clients give complete approval to ensure every aircraft is safe, squawk-free, and maintained to immaculate standards.

Exceptional Compensation & Benefits Package:

  • Guaranteed Pay Structure: Paid for 2,080 base hours + 10% guaranteed bonus hours annually. Technicians typically work ~1,700 actual hours per year while receiving total earnings equivalent to 2,200+ paid hours per year.
  • Daily Overtime: Overtime paid after 8 hours per day, not just 40 hours per week.
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan: 50% company match.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Premium medical, dental, vision, and full coverage options.

Role Overview & Scope of Work:

In this role, you will handle line maintenance, light scheduled inspections, and pre/post-flight operations for a diverse corporate fleet across modern hangar facilities.

  • Aircraft Fleet Scope: Light, mid-size, and large-cabin corporate jets.
  • In-House Maintenance Scope: Perform line maintenance, squawk resolution, AD research, parts ordering, logbook updates, and routine inspections under 400 man-hours. Major multi-year inspections and heavy warranty work are sent out to partner facilities.
  • Flight Line Operations: Pre-flight and post-flight support for C-suite executives and flight crews (launching aircraft, towing, fueling, greeting clients/pilots, and ensuring pristine aircraft delivery).
  • Facility & Fleet Ownership: Maintaining hangar cleanliness, equipment upkeep, and ensuring 100% mission readiness for all managed aircraft.

Schedule & Flexibility:

  • Shift Structure: Typically 8:00 AM 5:00 PM, with flexibility required around early morning departures (e.g., 4:30 AM arrival for an early launchletting you wrap up early in the afternoon if the schedule permits).
  • Rotating Weekend Coverage: Shared team rotation for weekend flight launches and returns.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Experience: 7+ years of hands-on A&P maintenance experience working on corporate turbine aircraft.
  • Certifications: Active FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) License required.
  • Service Mindset: Polished, professional, and client-focused demeanor suitable for interacting directly with corporate executives and flight crews.
  • Self-Motivated & Autonomous: "Go-do-it" mindsetable to research squawks, order parts, complete log entries, and manage time independently.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, age, color, sex (including pregnancy), religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, military status, genetic information, or any other status protected by applicable laws or regulations. GPAC (Growing People and Companies) is an award-winning search firm specializing in placing quality professionals within multiple industries across the United States since 1990. We are extremely competitive, client-focused and realize that our value is in our ability to deliver the right solutions at the right time.
