About Us

Brandywine Aviation & Maintenance is a growing general aviation company located at Brandywine Regional Airport (KOQN) in West Chester, Pennsylvania. We operate a flight training and aircraft rental fleet while providing maintenance services for both company-operated and privately owned aircraft.

We are looking to add an experienced, motivated A&P Aircraft Mechanic to our maintenance team. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on general aviation maintenance, takes pride in quality workmanship, and wants to be part of a growing aviation business.

Responsibilities
  • Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on general aviation aircraft.
  • Conduct inspections, troubleshooting, repairs, and preventive maintenance in accordance with FAA regulations and manufacturer requirements.
  • Diagnose and resolve airframe, engine, electrical, and mechanical issues.
  • Perform maintenance on piston-powered aircraft, including Cirrus, Cessna, Diamond, and light sport aircraft.
  • Maintain accurate maintenance records and logbook entries.
  • Coordinate with the maintenance team to ensure aircraft are returned to service safely and efficiently.
  • Assist with annual and 100-hour inspections.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and professional work environment.
Qualifications
  • Valid FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certificate required.
  • Inspection Authorization (IA) preferred but not required.
  • Prior hands-on general aviation maintenance experience required.
  • Strong knowledge of piston aircraft engines, airframes, and associated systems.
  • Experience with Lycoming, Continental, and/or Rotax engines preferred.
  • Familiarity with Cirrus, Cessna, Diamond, or similar aircraft is a plus.
  • Ability to troubleshoot independently and work effectively as part of a team.
  • Strong attention to detail, safety, and regulatory compliance.
  • Good communication and organizational skills.
Why Join Brandywine Aviation?

We offer an opportunity to work in a growing aviation business with a diverse fleet and a steady variety of maintenance projects.

Unlike larger airline maintenance operations, our environment provides opportunities to work directly with aircraft owners, pilots, and other aviation professionals while developing a broad range of technical skills.

We value experienced mechanics who take ownership of their work, demonstrate good judgment, and appreciate a professional, team-oriented atmosphere.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive compensation based on experience and qualifications.
  • Full-time, direct employment.
  • Paid time off and company holidays.
  • Opportunities for professional growth as our maintenance operation expands.
  • Additional compensation considerations for qualified IA holders.
Relocation Opportunities

We welcome applications from qualified mechanics interested in relocating to the West Chester, Pennsylvania area.

For the right relocating candidate, company-owned one-bedroom apartment housing located approximately 10 minutes from the airport may be available for consideration. Housing arrangements would be discussed individually as part of the overall employment package.
