• Log all maintenance actions with absolute precision using the shop’s digital tracking inventory.

• Participate in the shared on-call rotation for weekend coverage and rapid AOG emergency response.

• Verifiable background successfully completing and signing off on 100-hour and annual airframe inspections.

• Solid proficiency in electrical diagnostics and/or aircraft system troubleshooting.

• Comprehensive working knowledge of 14 CFR Parts 43 and 91 regulatory frameworks.
