Our Citation Department maintains, inspects and repairs the Cessna Citation series of business jets for owners and operators across the country. We are a boutique-style MRO built on customer focus, employee empowerment and hands-on excitement with every delivery, and we are investing significantly in training to expand your skills and fast-track your career. About The Role This is a 7th-shift position. With little or no management on site, our 7th-shift crews are trusted to run the hangar: to make sound decisions, solve problems as they come up, keep the paperwork right, and hand the aircraft over further along than they found them. If you do your best work without someone looking over your shoulder, this shift is built for you. We’re hiring A&P mechanics at every experience level - from new A&P school graduates to senior mechanics with ten or more years on the tools. You'll perform maintenance, inspection, troubleshooting and repair work on Cessna Citation business jets. Our pay scale is published: your starting grade, and your rate, are set by your verified aircraft maintenance experience, and you can see exactly where you'll land and where you can go from there. What You'll Do Perform maintenance, inspections, repairs, modifications and operational checks on Cessna Citation business jets in accordance with FAA regulations, manufacturer manuals and company procedures. Troubleshoot aircraft systems and resolve discrepancies to their root cause, not just the symptom. Work to the standard our Quality Assurance department inspects against - inspection and return to service are issued by QA under our repair station certificate. Prepare maintenance records that are accurate, legible and complete before inspection, and record your time and work performed in Corridor. Complete assigned tasks within estimated labor hours while holding quality standards. Complete company and OEM training on the aircraft models we maintain. Coordinate with Quality Assurance, Planning, Engineering and Parts, and keep your crew lead informed on status, delays and discovered work. Conduct pre- and post-flight inspections, perform routine maintenance checks to approved data, and service oxygen, nitrogen and air-conditioning systems. Inspect, service and repair fuel, hydraulic, pneumatic and environmental control systems, and maintain landing gear, brakes, wheels and tires. Check and adjust control cable tensions, install and rig flight controls, troubleshoot electrical and avionics malfunctions, and perform battery capacity checks. At the senior grades: advanced troubleshooting, engine runs, special projects and modifications, owning inspection events end to end, and training and mentoring junior mechanics. Keep your work moving through the shift without waiting on management: make the call, document it, and elevate only what truly needs the Supervisor or Department Manager. Give and receive a clear shift turnover, so work carries cleanly from one shift to the next. What we're looking for Valid FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certificate. Recent A&P school graduates are encouraged to apply. Aircraft maintenance experience is welcome but not required - it sets your starting grade (see the table below). Working knowledge of the FARs that govern maintenance, including Part 145 repair stations. Able to use maintenance manuals, parts catalogs, task cards and maintenance tracking systems. Careful, complete documentation habits, and a clean safety record. Reliable attendance, punctuality and shift discipline. Can be trusted to work without management supervision: you make sound decisions on your own, manage your own time, and get the work done right and on time. Able to work 7th shift on a regular basis and to work independently with little or no management on site. Skills and abilities Communication: Must be able to read and speak English, and communicate effectively with other personnel. Mathematics: Basic math skills. Reasoning: Ability to define problems, collect data, establish facts and draw valid conclusions. Ability to interpret an extensive variety of technical instructions in mathematical or diagram form and deal with several abstract and concrete variables. Computer: Basic computer aptitude.
