Engineer

Operations and Maintenance Engineer

Location: Orlando International Airport

• Schedule: Third Shift
• Team: Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
  
  

Why this role matters

Keep an airport moving. As the APM Systems Engineer you’ll be the go-to technical owner for electro-mechanical systems that move thousands of passengers daily. You’ll troubleshoot complex faults, drive reliability improvements, and turn findings into fixes, trainings, and updated procedures.

What You’ll Do

• Own the technical health of APM systems. Lead resolution of complex electro-mechanical issues; record all activities in the MMIS; ensure PMs hit schedule and spec.
• Troubleshoot & restore. Diagnose faults, identify root causes, develop repair plans, and communicate clear next steps to technicians and supervisors.
• Drive reliability. Perform failure/root-cause analysis; trend disruptions; recommend changes that reduce recurrence and improve time-to-restore.
• Elevate documentation. Coordinate with MHIA Engineering on drawing/SOP changes; make sure updates are consistent and adopted.
• Teach and mentor. Deliver targeted technical training; create one-pagers/checklists; communicate procedure changes to techs and leads.
• Work from the schematics. Trace and interpret complex electrical/signal processing diagrams; use precision instruments to verify to spec.
• Step up when needed. Provide backup supervision when the Shift Supervisor/Manager is out.
  
  

What Success Looks Like (first 6–12 Months)

• PM compliance at or above target; clean MMIS work orders with verification notes/photos
• Measurable reduction in repeat faults on assigned subsystems
• Updated drawings/SOPs accepted by both shifts
• Techs trained and signed off on at least two high-value procedures
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• BS in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering (accredited)
• 3–5 years in electro-mechanical systems (rail/transit, industrial automation, aviation, or similar)
• Strong troubleshooting ability; comfort with complex schematics
• Hands-on with precision tools (micrometers, oscilloscopes, analyzers, calipers), hand/power tools, and MMIS software
• Clear communicator who can translate technical detail into action for technicians and leaders
  
  

Nice to have

• APM/rail transit experience; familiarity with PLC/SCADA; reliability engineering or RCA methods
  
  

Requirements

• Valid driver’s license with satisfactory record
• Able to obtain/maintain airport security clearance
• Post-offer background check, drug/alcohol test, physical, and Ishihara (red/green) color test
• Fluent in spoken and written English
  
  

Tools & tech you’ll use

MMIS (Maintenance Management Information System), standard office apps, precision measuring tools, oscilloscopes/analyzers, hand/power tools.

Physical & work environment

• Regularly: use hands, reach, climb/balance, stoop/kneel/crouch/crawl; stand/walk; talk/hear
• Occasionally: sit; lift/move up to 25 lbs frequently and 50 lbs with help occasionally
• Vision: close, distance, color, peripheral, depth, focus
• Environment: active rail/industrial setting with moving parts and live systems; exposure to humidity, temperature extremes (non-weather), and electrical risk; PPE and safety procedures required
