Job Description
-
Aircraft Maintenance Technician
What We Do
At Heritage Aviation, we take care of airplanes the right way: with a sense of ownership. We’re a high-end MRO focused on premium piston aircraft, turboprops, and jets, supporting owners and operators who expect precision, transparency, and pride in workmanship.
Our technicians handle a mix of scheduled inspections, unscheduled maintenance, troubleshooting, and AOG support. The work is hands-on and detail-driven—airframes, engines, landing gear, and aircraft systems including electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems. Safety isn’t a slogan here; it’s how we work. Everything we do is performed in compliance with FAA regulations, OEM data, and our Part 145 quality system.
We’re a disciplined, professional shop—but not a stuffy one. We value teamwork, accountability, and technicians who care about doing things correctly the first time.
What You Bring
- FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Certificate in good standing
- High School Diploma or GED
- 1–3 years of experience working on high-performance piston, turboprop, or turbine aircraft (corporate jet experience preferred; avionics experience is a plus)
- A natural curiosity for technical topics and details—you like understanding how systems work, not just changing parts
- Strong troubleshooting skills and a methodical approach to finding root cause
- Clear communication skills and the ability to work well with teammates, customers, and leadership
- Comfort moving between scheduled maintenance and AOG support as priorities change
- Willingness to participate in on-call rotations, including nights and holidays
- Ability to pass DOT drug and alcohol testing and obtain a SIDA badge
Physical & Work Environment
- Ability to work in confined or awkward positions and on ladders or scaffolding
- Ability to lift and pull up to 50 pounds
- Manual dexterity, strength, visual acuity, and hearing required for aircraft maintenance tasks
- Willingness to work in variable shop and weather conditions, including noise, dust, and jet fumes
Our Commitment to You
- Competitive pay: $26.62–$40.60 per hour, based on experience and qualifications
- Comprehensive benefits package, including company stock and a profit-sharing bonus
- 10-hour day shifts, Monday through Saturday
- Paid on-call opportunities for nights and holidays
- A clean, professional, and well-equipped work environment
- Ongoing training and professional development to keep your skills sharp and your career moving forward
- A culture that respects technicians, values craftsmanship, and supports doing the job right—not just fast
