Job Description

Ready to turn your mechanical skills into a career at LAX? Balanced Diversity is hiring a General Maintenance Worker / Junior Technician to support baggage handling and airport equipment operations at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

This is a strong opportunity for someone who is mechanically inclined, enjoys hands-on work, and wants to build experience working with conveyor systems, baggage handling equipment, and other airport machinery.

As a Junior Technician, you’ll work alongside experienced technicians and help keep critical airport systems running. Responsibilities include:

• Assisting technicians with repairs and maintenance of baggage handling systems and related equipment
• Monitoring baggage handling systems from the control room
• Responding to jams, faults, and equipment trouble calls
• Running bags and clearing baggage system issues
• Assisting with supervised repairs and other maintenance activities
• Supporting day-to-day airport operations as needed

The role is designed to provide exposure to both basic and semi-skilled maintenance work while supporting experienced technicians.

You may be a great fit if you are:

• Mechanically or technically inclined
• Interested in learning and growing into a skilled maintenance role
• Proactive, dependable, and comfortable taking initiative
• Detail-oriented and able to stay calm under pressure
• Comfortable working with computers and equipment
• A strong team player and communicator
• Customer- and service-oriented
• Able to adapt quickly when operational priorities change

Experience with mechanical or electrical maintenance, conveyor systems, passenger boarding bridges, or material handling equipment is preferred. An associate degree in electronics, mechanical repair, or a related field—or equivalent experience—is also preferred.

This is a full-time role supporting a 24/7 airport operation , with three shifts available . Candidates must be flexible to work nights, weekends, overtime, and holidays as operational needs require.

Airport & Position Requirements

• Successfully complete required airport training and security checks
• Follow applicable company, OSHA, and FAA safety and security requirements

This is not a desk job. You’ll work in secured baggage handling areas, repair stations, airfield environments, and other areas of the airport. The environment can include moving mechanical equipment, aircraft noise, vibration, and changing weather conditions. Airport operations move quickly, so the ability to solve problems and respond effectively under pressure is important.
