Job Description:
The Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) is responsible for performing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repairs, and inspections on aircraft to ensure airworthiness and compliance with aviation safety standards. The technician works on airframes, engines, electrical systems, avionics, landing gear, and hydraulic systems, diagnosing mechanical issues and executing necessary corrections according to the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) and regulatory requirements.
Key tasks include conducting pre-flight and post-flight inspections, interpreting technical manuals, completing maintenance documentation, replacing defective parts, and ensuring compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications and aviation authority directives. AMTs often work closely with maintenance engineers, quality control inspectors, and airline operations teams to ensure aircraft are maintained to the highest safety and reliability standards. Additionally, they may assist in line maintenance at gates, hangar-based checks, or A, B, C, and D checks depending on experience level and station assignment.
Job Requirement:
An associate degree or diploma in aircraft maintenance engineering or aeronautics is required. Possession of an EASA Part-66, FAA A&P, or equivalent aircraft maintenance license is mandatory. A minimum of 3–5 years of hands-on maintenance experience with commercial or regional aircraft is preferred, along with familiarity with Airbus or Boeing maintenance systems depending on the fleet type.
Candidates must demonstrate strong diagnostic skills, technical proficiency, and a thorough understanding of aviation maintenance regulations (e.g., ICAO Annex 6, CAA requirements). Working knowledge of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), safety protocols, and tooling inventory management is also essential. The position demands physical stamina, attention to detail, willingness to work in varying weather conditions, and the ability to work rotating shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays.
