Job Summary
About Alpha Aviation
Alpha Aviation LLC is a locally owned and operated helicopter company built on decades of experience flying and supporting remote operations throughout Alaska. Our team is passionate about this state and about rotary-wing aviation — and it shows in everything we do. With a growing fleet of AS350 B2/B3s, Robinson R44IIs, and additional aircraft on the way, we're building out our maintenance department with experienced, safety-minded professionals who take pride in their work.
The Role
We are looking for a skilled and motivated A&P Mechanic to join our growing maintenance team. You'll perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on a dynamic mixed fleet, work alongside experienced pilots and fellow mechanics, and play a direct role in keeping our operations safe and airworthy. Whether you prefer a standard Monday-Friday schedule or a more flexible arrangement, we have options that work for you.
What You'll Do
Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, inspections, and repairs on AS350 and R44 helicopters per FAA regulations and manufacturer standards
Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and avionics issues
Install, modify, and repair aircraft systems and components
Maintain accurate, complete records and required FAA documentation
Communicate clearly with pilots, fellow mechanics, and management
Support fleet expansion with new aircraft onboarding as our fleet continues to grow
Compensation
$35-$60 per hour, depending on experience and field work requirements. We reward expertise — mechanics with strong AS350 experience and the ability to work in the field can expect compensation toward the higher end of this range.
Benefits
Competitive hourly rate with field pay premium
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) retirement plan
Per diem for qualifying field assignments
Opportunities for career growth and advancement as our fleet and team expand
Schedule Options
We are hiring for two schedule types:
Standard — Monday through Friday, regular business hours
Flexible — Variable schedule including field work assignments, occasional evenings/weekends; ideal for candidates who thrive in dynamic, field-based environments and prefer adaptability over a fixed routine
Requirements
What You Bring
FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Certificate — required
Minimum 3 years of experience on AS350 helicopters — preferred
Experience with Robinson R44 — strongly preferred
Bell medium helicopter experience — a plus
Solid mechanical and electrical skills; working knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and avionics
Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, schematics, and engineering drawings
Detail-oriented, procedure-driven, and able to work both independently and as part of a team
Willingness to work flexible hours and occasional weekends when operations require
Ready to Join the Team?
If you're a skilled A&P mechanic who loves Alaska, wants to stay local, and is ready to be part of a growing team doing meaningful work — we want to hear from you.
