Overtime: Optional OT available (up to ~2 hrs/day)

Join a mission-driven, family-owned aviation team

We're hiring an Aircraft Structural Technician to support one of the nation's most unique and mission-critical aviation programs. This is an opportunity to perform meaningful, highly detailed structural work within a family-owned, culture-focused organization known for stability, teamwork, and craftsmanship.

This is bench-level structural work not direct aircraft maintenance. You'll repair, fabricate, and refurbish key structural components such as landing gear doors, ailerons, flaps, and other sub-assemblies in a clean, climate-controlled backshop.

About the Role

Working under an experienced Lead Technician, you will:

• Repair, modify, and fabricate sheet metal structural assemblies
• Perform precision riveting, drilling, bending, countersinking, and fitting
• Work hands-on with structural components for a major national aviation program
• Follow work orders and quality standards to ensure safe, accurate structural builds

Daily tasks include working with aluminum and sheet metal, using a variety of fasteners, and performing highly precise shop-level fabrication tasks.

Responsibilities

• Complete work orders and structural repairs under supervision
• Modify, refurbish, and fabricate sheet metal assemblies and sub-assemblies
• Perform precision drilling, riveting, bending, countersinking, and hardware installation
• Work on components such as landing gear doors, ailerons, flaps, and similar structures

Qualifications

• Experience with aircraft sheet metal or structural mechanics
• Strong structural fabrication and repair skills
• Ability to read blueprints preferred
• Experience with precision drilling & riveting
• Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn

Candidates from A&P school, or industries involving precision riveting, drilling, or metal fabrication may still qualify.

Pay Tiers

• Low $30s/hr Entry Level
• Mid $30s/hr Experienced
• High $30s/hr Highly Experienced

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Support structural work tied to the E6-B Mercury TACAMO mission
• Family-owned company with a genuinely strong culture
• Clean, climate-controlled, modern backshop
• Close-knit team of ~40 employees
• Contractors receive 6 paid holidays + 6 paid sick days
• Opportunities for performance-based pay increases

Work Environment & Schedule

• Large, spacious, climate-controlled backshop
• Positive, supportive culture where everyone knows one another
• Schedule: MonFri | 6:00 AM2:30 PM
• OT available but not required or guaranteed (up to 2 hours/day)
