The Boeing Company has an exciting opportunity, through our IAM/Boeing Joint Apprenticeship Program, for Blue Streak Mechanic Apprenticeship in the Puget Sound region in Washington State!

This comprehensive 4-year training program consists of 8,000 hours of paid on-the-job training and essential classroom education, designed to equip you with the skills needed to excel. You will attend school for a minimum of 144 unpaid hours per school year, registered through a local Community and Technical College. Your wages as an apprentice will be defined in Article 17 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the International Association of Machinists District 751 and The Boeing Company, with progression to a higher wage step for every 1,000 hours of recorded on-the-job training until completion.

Upon graduation from the Apprenticeship, you will be placed in the target job at the maximum rate and receive a journey-worker certificate and card recognized worldwide.

Apprentices will learn the following tasks to become proficient as a journey-level graduate of the program:
Fabricate details and assemblies by hand and other mechanical means to support production, Aircraft on Ground (AOG), and/or critical spares requirements. When prints, templates, or tools are not available, develop and fabricate complex temporary shop aid templates and tools, which include forming compound curvatures and angles to support part fabrication. Accomplishment of the above tasks requires regular use of obsolete blueprints, advanced shop mathematics, trigonometry, descriptive geometry (layout and lofting), geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and computer aided design applications such as CATIA.

Applicants should have a strong willingness and aptitude for learning, problem solving, and judgement, as well as a mindset for continuous improvement.
