What are the responsibilities and job description for the Aircraft Maintenance Technician (5+ yrs exp REQ) position at Appalachian Aero Group?
Job Title: Aircraft Maintenance Technician
Location: Hickory, NC
About Us
At Appalachian Aero Group, we believe great work happens when people feel supported, valued, and part of something bigger. We work hard, laugh often, and treat each other like family. Aviation is what we do, but people are why we do it. Here, you’ll find a team that’s passionate about airplanes, proud of what we build, and committed to having fun along the way.
The Role
We’re looking for an Aircraft Maintenance Technician who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, take pride in their craft, and join a team that values both excellence and camaraderie. If you’re passionate about aviation, thrive in a hands-on environment, and appreciate being part of a tight-knit crew, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Do
- Tackle inspections, repairs, and upgrades with precision and care
- Team up with fellow technicians to get projects done right—and enjoy the process along the way
- Keep accurate records (because safety and compliance matter just as much as the work itself)
- Bring your positive attitude to the hangar every day
What We’re Looking For
- 5 years of Citation and King Air experience
- Solid troubleshooting skills and attention to detail
- FAA A&P required
- A collaborative spirit—we’re looking for teammates, not just employees
Why You’ll Love It Here
We want you to do great work and love your life outside the hangar too. That’s why we offer:
- Unlimited PTO (because life doesn’t always fit in a time-off box)
- Health Insurance – 100% paid for employees
- Vision Insurance (because squinting at wiring diagrams is no joke)
- Short & Long-Term Disability
- Life Insurance
- 401(k) Retirement Plan
- A culture that puts people first—where you’re supported, celebrated, and always part of the family
