We've Got a Hangar Full of Them. BAS Part Sales is one of the world's leading aircraft parts suppliers, headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, with operations in Missouri and Minnesota. We specialize in aircraft disassembly, aviation parts research, and selling millions of aircraft components through our industry-leading e-commerce store to customers in well over 100 countries. We recently expanded into Minnesota through an acquisition, bringing a significant aircraft parts inventory and an experienced aviation team into the BAS organization. Now we're growing our Research Department at Crystal Airport to bring that inventory into the BAS system and make it available for sale online. That's where you come in. We're looking for smart, motivated, detail-oriented people who enjoy solving problems, working with computers, and getting the details right. You don't need to know anything about airplanes to get started. We'll teach you that. You do need solid computer skills, a strong work ethic, an eye for detail, and the ability to learn a process and execute it accurately day after day. What Does an Aviation Parts Researcher Actually Do? Every aircraft contains thousands of individual components, each with its own identity, part number, application, and details. Before we can list those parts for sale on our website, someone has to research and identify them correctly, document the details, photograph them, and prepare them for our inventory listing process. That's the Researcher's job. Sometimes identifying a part is straightforward. Other times, it takes a little detective work: digging through aircraft parts catalogs, studying technical diagrams, comparing information against our existing inventory and sales history, or tapping into the knowledge of an experienced teammate. Whatever the path, the goal is the same: figure out exactly what you're looking at and get the details right. Think of it as detective work with airplanes.

Your typical day includes:

Researching and identifying aircraft and helicopter parts using digital parts catalogs, technical diagrams, manuals, and online resources. Determining accurate part numbers, descriptions, applications, and other identifying details. Examining physical components for identifying markings, labels, and relevant information. Documenting research findings and part details in our cloud-based inventory and research systems. Photographing aircraft components in a dedicated photo booth, capturing the details customers need to evaluate the actual item. Creating and applying inventory identification tags. Preparing completed research records and components for the next steps in our inventory listing process. Occasionally moving parts between the hangar, research area, photo booth, and warehouse, including organizing and putting away completed inventory. This is primarily a desk-based research and documentation position, with time spent photographing parts in our photo booth. Approximately 80% of your work will involve computer research, documentation, and photography. The remaining time involves handling, moving, and organizing physical inventory into the warehouse. You're not being hired to work on airplanes, repair components, or spend your day moving boxes around the hangar. The Researcher's job is to identify the parts and get the details right. What We're Looking For. Here's what matters to us: Strong computer skills. You're comfortable using Windows computers, browsers, email, digital tools, and modern software. You can learn new applications and navigate multiple sources of information efficiently. Attention to detail. You notice small differences, follow instructions carefully, and understand why accuracy matters. Problem-solving ability. You enjoy research, figuring things out, and finding answers when they aren't immediately obvious. Speed AND accuracy. You can maintain a productive pace without sacrificing the quality of your work. Personal accountability. You show up on time, take ownership of your responsibilities, and finish what you start. Coachability. You welcome feedback, learn new processes, and continually improve. Consistency and focus. You can stay engaged while performing detailed, repetitive tasks throughout the workday. A positive attitude. You work well with others, contribute to the team, and take pride in doing your job well. Experience with technical research, data entry, inventory systems, photography, automotive parts, mechanical components, electronics, or aviation can be helpful. No aviation experience? No problem. Some of our most successful team members joined BAS knowing little or nothing about airplanes, aircraft parts, or mechanics. They came with a great attitude, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn, and have gone on to build long, rewarding careers with us. We'd love to help you do the same.
