Job Description
Job Description

Total Aviation Staffing is hiring an experienced Sheet Metal Mechanic for our client, a leading aviation maintenance and technical services provider supporting high-performance military aircraft.

This role is ideal for an aircraft structures technician with strong experience in precision drilling, fastener installation, structural assembly, and sheet metal fabrication. You will work directly on F-16 aircraft, supporting structural build-up, repair, and installation work where quality, accuracy, and attention to detail are critical.

If you have recent aircraft sheet metal experience and want the opportunity to work on advanced fighter aircraft in a fast-paced aerospace environment, this is a strong opportunity to take the next step in your aviation career.

What Youโ€™ll Do

As a Sheet Metal Mechanic, you will support aircraft structural work by fabricating, assembling, repairing, and installing sheet metal components and assemblies.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Interpret blueprints, technical drawings, fastener layouts, and aircraft structural repair documentation.

  • Fabricate, assemble, and install sheet metal and structural assemblies for F-16 aircraft.

  • Use precision measuring tools and equipment to ensure accuracy throughout the assembly and repair process.

  • Drill, ream, rivet, and install various aircraft fasteners.

  • Perform countersinking, part trimming, and other structural preparation tasks.

  • Support fuselage component build-up and aircraft structural assembly work.

  • Maintain high standards for quality, precision, and workmanship.

  • Follow all applicable safety procedures, maintenance practices, and technical requirements.

What Weโ€™re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a hands-on aviation structures professional with strong attention to detail and proven experience working on aircraft sheet metal or structural assemblies. This role requires someone who understands aircraft structural quality standards and can perform precision work in a production or maintenance environment.

Required Qualifications
  • Minimum of 6 years of recent aircraft sheet metal, aircraft structures, or precision drilling experience.

  • Experience performing sheet metal work on aircraft.

  • Strong knowledge of aircraft structural assembly operations and maintenance practices.

  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, fastener layouts, technical drawings, and work instructions.

  • Experience drilling, reaming, riveting, countersinking, trimming, and installing aircraft fasteners.

  • Ability to use precision measuring equipment.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced aviation maintenance or aerospace production environment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working on F-16 aircraft or other military aircraft.

  • Fighter aircraft structural maintenance or modification experience.

  • Aerospace, defense, MRO, depot-level maintenance, or aircraft manufacturing experience.

  • Familiarity with aircraft fuselage structures, component build-up, and structural repair processes.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a great opportunity for an experienced aviation sheet metal mechanic to work on one of the most recognized military aircraft platforms in the world.

This position offers:

  • Competitive pay of $34.00 โ€“ $38.00 per hour

  • Hands-on work with F-16 aircraft

  • Opportunity to support high-performance military aviation programs

  • Exposure to advanced aerospace tools, technology, and processes

  • A chance to build your career in the aviation, aerospace, and defense industry

  • Meaningful work supporting aircraft structural integrity and mission readiness

If youโ€™re an experienced Aircraft Sheet Metal Mechanic, Aircraft Structures Mechanic, or Aviation Structural Technician with strong precision drilling and aircraft assembly experience, we encourage you to apply today.
