  • Our crews travel throughout the United States, working on some of the busiest commercial and military airports in the country.
  • Typical travel assignments range from4-6 weeks, with all airfare, hotels, and per diem provided by Hi-Lite.
  • You bring the work ethic-we take care of the logistics.

  • Full-time
  • Day, night, weekend, and overnight shifts as required by airport operations
  • Overtime opportunities available


Qualifications

  • Valid Real ID driver's license with a good driving record
