What are the responsibilities and job description for the AOG Aircraft Maintenance Technician — Senior position at Premier Air Inc.?
Description
Overview
As a Senior AOG Technician, you are the technical authority in the field. When an aircraft goes down — at a domestic airport, an international destination, or a remote tarmac — you lead the response. You will mentor teammates, make independent decisions under pressure, and represent the gold standard of private aviation maintenance.
What You Will Do
- Lead and coordinate AOG response deployments domestically and internationally as the on-site technical authority
- Independently diagnose and resolve complex mechanical, electrical, and avionics issues on high-performance business jets
- Mentor and guide junior technicians during multi-person deployments
- Serve as the primary liaison with clients, flight crews, and vendors in high-stakes environments
- Own the full return-to-service process: work orders, sign-off documentation, parts accounting, and FAR compliance
- Identify systemic maintenance trends and communicate findings to leadership
- Deploy rapidly via commercial airline or company AOG van, carrying tools and parts provided on site to support the mission
- Travel up to 200 miles by vehicle from the assigned base location for AOG events; trips beyond 200 miles will be by flight
What We Are Looking For
- Current FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) certificate — required
- 7–10 years of verifiable corporate or business aviation maintenance experience
- Prior FAR Part 145 repair station background
- Demonstrated experience leading or mentoring other technicians
- Complete personal set of aircraft mechanic hand tools (site-provided tools available for deployments)
- Valid driver's license with clean record; ability to pass a DOT background check
- Proficiency in MS Office, Corridor maintenance software, and MS devices
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; bilingual English/Spanish is a plus
- Physical ability to lift 70 lbs., work at heights up to 40 feet, and operate in confined spaces
