You will support the safety, reliability, and readiness of a fleet of Tecnam light sport aircraft , helping ensure students, instructors, and pilots have dependable aircraft for daily training operations. If you have experience with Rotax 912 engines , strong troubleshooting skills, and the ability to work independently in a fast-moving aviation maintenance environment, this is a strong opportunity to grow your career while supporting the next generation of aviation professionals.

You should be comfortable troubleshooting mechanical and system issues, managing maintenance priorities, and working independently without needing constant supervision.
