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.

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.

• 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

• 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.

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

• 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

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