  • Own tools and a toolbox; valid driver’s license.
  • 18 years of age or older; dependable attendance at the worksite.
  • Fluent in English for reading, writing, and speaking; able to collaborate effectively in person and electronically.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the country of employment.
  • Comfort with iPads/tablets, computers, and mobile devices to access and interpret technical information.
  • Flexible availability for a 24/7 airline environment—nights, weekends, and holidays as needed.
Physical realities of the role
  • Lift up to 70 pounds; spend extended periods standing and walking in indoor/outdoor conditions.
  • Must be able to reach with arms and grasp with hands; Must be able to push, pull; Must be able to crawl and crouch, at times, in confined tight spaces; Must be able to bend, stretch, squat, kneel; and climb to work at height.
  • Work around moderate to high noise, biohazards/chemicals, outdoor elements.
