LGS Equipment Mechanic II

We’re looking for a skilled and safety-focused GSE Mechanic II to help keep our Ground Support Equipment operating at peak performance. In this hands-on role, you’ll inspect, maintain, repair, and overhaul both powered and non-powered GSE—playing a critical role in reliable airport operations.

Beyond turning wrenches, you’ll be a trusted technical resource, mentoring less experienced mechanics and stepping into a leadership role when the Supervisor is unavailable. If you take pride in quality work, ownership, and teamwork, this is an opportunity to grow your career in a dynamic aviation environment.

What You’ll Do

• Inspect, maintain, repair, and overhaul a wide range of ground support equipment

• Troubleshoot and repair gas and diesel engines, hydraulic systems, drivetrains, and battery-operated equipment

• Perform light and heavy-duty tire and wheel changes

• Accurately complete maintenance and repair documentation in compliance with all carrier, airport, municipal, state, and federal requirements

• Respond to emergency service calls and incidents involving GSE

• Serve as a liaison between ABX and contractors for equipment maintenance, modification, and operations

• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior mechanics

• Oversee maintenance work in the absence of a Supervisor

• Maintain strong communication with all levels of the organization

• Support facility or property equipment maintenance as directed by management

• Work independently while consistently practicing safety-conscious behaviors
