• Apply technical knowledge to diagnose malfunctions and restore airframe and powerplant systems, including flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components.
• Actively contribute technical data for Maintenance Engineering Changes (MEC) and Estimated Cost of Damage (ECOD) reports, and assist in recommending changes to Modification Work Orders (MWO).
• Prioritize project workloads, lead maintenance teams through complex tasks, and exercise authority to inspect and sign off on work performed by Mechanic I and II team members.
• Solve moderate-to-complex technical issues by interpreting and applying engineering blueprints, technical publications, aircraft logs, and manufacturer manuals.
• Safely and accurately operate specialized aircraft tools and precision instruments, including test equipment, torque wrenches, dial indicators, micrometers, sheet metal brakes, and shears.
• Apply basic electrical theory and proper structural techniques to ensure all modifications comply with strict aviation safety regulations and military/commercial standards.

• Must possess or be able to obtain a Department of Defense (DoD) Secret Security Clearance to access the airfield and military installation.
• Combined experience in general mechanical maintenance, structural sheet metal repair, and complex aircraft troubleshooting.
• Advanced working knowledge of technical publications, manufacturer manuals, blueprints, and the ability to accurately complete entries in aircraft logs and records.
• Demonstrated expertise using sheet metal shop equipment (shears, brakes) and precision diagnostic tools (micrometers, dial indicators).
• Proven ability to manage project timelines, prioritize shifting workloads, and guide junior technicians through demanding maintenance workflows.
• While structured primarily around sheet metal and airframe repair, basic knowledge of electrical theory or avionics is highly valued for cross-functional support.
