Equinoxx Aviation – AOG Mechanic Job Posting

Position: AOG Technician – Full-Time, On-Call / Mobile Response

Reports to: AOG Operations Lead / Director of Maintenance

Department: AOG & Mobile Repair Services

At Equinoxx Aviation, we’re a repair station founded by operators who understand that when an aircraft is down, every minute counts. We specialize in jet and turboprop maintenance, avionics sales and integration, and rapid AOG response across the Southeast and beyond. Our AOG team is the front line that keeps customers flying safely and on schedule.

We’re expanding our mobile AOG capability and looking for a skilled, self-reliant A&P Technician who thrives in the field. If you’re the kind of mechanic who can troubleshoot a Learjet at 2 a.m. on a remote ramp, document the work correctly the first time, and still treat the customer like family, we want to talk to you.

Why Join Equinoxx Aviation?

• Competitive base pay plus overtime, night differential, travel per-diem, and performance bonuses tied directly to AOG response times and customer satisfaction.
• Full benefits package health, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, paid time off.
• Career growth – we promote from within and offer factory training and IA support for the right people.
• Real ownership culture – as a founder-led shop, your input on processes, tooling, and efficiency improvements is welcomed and rewarded.
• The satisfaction of knowing you’re part of a tight-knit team that actually keeps aircraft flying when others can’t.

What You’ll Do (Core Responsibilities)

• Provide immediate 24/7 AOG response – travel on short notice (drive, commercial, or charter) to customer aircraft locations across the U.S.
• Perform on-site troubleshooting, diagnostics, repairs, inspections, and functional tests on jet and turboprop aircraft (Citation, Challenger, Pilatus, King Air, etc.).
• Coordinate parts sourcing and logistics
• Work independently with minimal supervision while staying in communication
• Represent Equinoxx Aviation professionally – you are the company when you roll up to an AOG call.
• Prioritize safety over all else

Schedule: Rotating week on week off. Thursday to Wednesday. Guaranteed 40 hours. Significant overtime and travel per-diem opportunities.

What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

• Current FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Certificate – required.
• 4+ years of hands-on maintenance experience on turboprop or light/medium jet aircraft (Part 145 or Part 91/135 is a plus).
• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex systems quickly and safely in the field.
• Own comprehensive set of hand tools (company supplies specialty tools and ground support equipment).
• Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and passport (or ability to obtain one) for occasional international travel.
• Strong working knowledge of FAA regulations, aircraft maintenance manuals, and service bulletins.
• Excellent communication skills – you’ll be updating pilots, directors of maintenance, and owners directly.
• Physical ability to work in all weather conditions, climb ladders, and lift 50+ lbs regularly.
• Must be able to pass pre-employment drug screening and background check.

Preferred but not required:

• Factory or type-specific training on Garmin avionics, Pratt & Whitney, or common business-jet platforms.
• Previous Part 145 repair station or mobile AOG experience.
• Sheet-metal fabrication or composite repair skills.
• Handle avionics diagnostics and basic Garmin installations/repairs – our avionics shop support is just a phone call away.

We run a clean, professional operation that values safety, speed, and integrity above everything else.
