Aviation Maintenance Technician

The Aviation Maintenance Technician is responsible for the day-to-day maintenance, airworthiness, and operational readiness of company aircraft based in Long Beach, California. Maintenance activities must comply with applicable FAA regulations, manufacturer requirements, approved maintenance data, and company policies.

This position is intended for an experienced aviation maintenance professional who values ownership, independence, and being a trusted member of a small, highly professional aviation team. Serving as the primary on-site technician, this individual is expected to manage day-to-day maintenance needs with limited supervision while maintaining close, proactive communication with the Senior Manager, Aircraft Maintenance and the broader Aviation team.

Success in this role requires sound technical judgment, initiative, accountability, attention to detail, and follow-through. The ideal candidate takes pride in anticipating needs, identifying issues early, developing solutions, and seeing responsibilities through to completion while recognizing when technical assistance, management guidance, or additional approvals are appropriate.

This role offers meaningful responsibility for the condition and readiness of assigned aircraft, along with the autonomy to manage day-to-day maintenance priorities and the support of an experienced Aviation organization when additional resources or guidance are needed. We are looking for someone who wants to take ownership of an aircraft and become a trusted, long-term member of the team - someone interested in developing deep familiarity with the aircraft, crews, operation, and organization while helping us continually improve safety, reliability, and effectiveness.
