Job Description:

Waterford Aviation is seeking an experienced General Aviation A&P Technician to join our growing maintenance team at Oakland County International Airport (PTK) in Waterford, Michigan.

As an Authorized Cirrus and Diamond Service Center, we specialize primarily in modern piston aircraft maintenance, inspections, troubleshooting, and repair. Our shop supports a wide range of general aviation aircraft, with a strong focus on owner-flown piston aircraft requiring quality workmanship, accurate diagnostics, and professional maintenance support.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for a technician who can work independently, troubleshoot effectively, and perform high-quality maintenance with minimal supervision.

What You’ll Be Working On:
• Annual inspections
• 100-hour inspections
• Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance
• Troubleshooting intermittent discrepancies
• Engine diagnostics (Lycoming / Continental)
• Electrical and avionics-related troubleshooting
• Pre-purchase inspections
• General airframe, powerplant, and systems maintenance

Aircraft experience may include:
• Cirrus
• Diamond
• Cessna
• Other general aviation piston aircraft

Why Waterford Aviation:
• 4-day day-shift schedule with Wednesdays off (4x10 schedule)
• $28–48/hr depending on experience and capability
• Medical, prescription, dental, and vision insurance
• SIMPLE IRA with employer match
• Paid time off
• Professional development support
• Relocation assistance for the right candidate

Waterford Aviation has served Southeast Michigan since 1976 and has built a reputation as a premier general aviation maintenance provider.

If you're an experienced mechanic looking for a professional shop where your skills are respected, your expertise matters, and your work directly impacts customer safety and satisfaction, we’d like to talk.

Job Requirements:

Required:

  • FAA Airframe & Powerplant Certificate (A&P)
  • Minimum 3-5 years of general aviation aircraft maintenance experience preferred
  • Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills on piston aircraft systems
  • Experience performing annual inspections, 100-hour inspections, and general maintenance
  • Working knowledge of Lycoming and Continental engines
  • Ability to read and interpret maintenance manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, and FAA guidance
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
  • Reliable attendance and professional work ethic
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Must pass pre-employment drug screening
  • Must provide own basic aviation maintenance tools

Preferred:

  • Cirrus experience
  • Diamond experience
  • Cessna / general piston GA experience
  • IA certification
  • Electrical / avionics troubleshooting experience
  • Experience with digital maintenance systems (Veryon / EBIS)
  • Turboprop experience is a plus
