Aircraft Mechanics II must have a combination of experience in repairing engines, sheet metal, structural, hydraulic, electrical, power train, and general mechanical maintenance of moderate difficulty, required to meet the assigned missions. Additionally provides input to Maintenance Engineering Changes (MEC), and Estimated Cost of Damage preparation (ECOD) and assists in the recommendation of changes to (MWO).
Individuals must be able to prioritize workloads and are required to lead teams through more complex aircraft-relevant tasks. Mechanic IIs can inspect Mechanic IIs and Is. This mechanic maintains repairs and modifies aircraft structures and structural components of moderate difficulty, maintains and repairs aircraft components including but not limited to flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components, applies technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems in determining equipment malfunctions and applies required expertise in restoring equipment condition and or operation, and applies comprehensive technical expertise to solve moderate to complex problems by interpreting technical documentation such as blueprints or manufactures’ manuals.
- Must have a thorough knowledge of aircraft mechanical component troubleshooting, repair procedures, and replacement of parts,
- Requires a broad knowledge of aircraft sheet metal/structural modifications and repair,
- Must have basic knowledge of electrical theory,
- Must have a thorough knowledge of the aircraft's unique tools such as test equipment, torque wrenches, dial indicators, micrometers, sheet metal brakes, and sheers.
- This job requires a working knowledge of technical publications.
- The incumbent receives technical guidance, as required, from a supervisor or higher-level technician, will occasionally be required to lead teams through more complex aircraft-relevant tasks, and may be required to make entries in aircraft logs and records.
- Must be able to prioritize workload to maintain schedules on assigned projects.
- May require specialization in sheet metal, electric work, avionics, or other aircraft systems-related disciplines.
ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS: All Aircraft Mechanic II must have Aviation Mechanic Experience and not just general maintenance experience.
DESIRED EXPERIENCE: Aviation mechanic experience working on UH-60, HH-60, AH-64, CH-47, and/or UH-72 aircraft series.
