Veterans of military aviation: bring your experience to the classroom. 

Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) is hiring Aircraft Maintenance Instructors at our Norfolk campus to train the next generation of FAA-certified mechanics in our Part 147 program. Whether you spent your career on a flight line, in a hangar, or supporting heavy maintenance operations, you've built skills that are irreplaceable - and we provide a structured 5-day paid instructor training program to help you successfully transition into the classroom. 

AIM has trained thousands of aviation maintenance technicians, including many transitioning service members. As an instructor here, you'll work alongside fellow veterans and former civilian mechanics, teaching students who often include current service members and recent veterans using their GI Bill benefits. 

No teaching experience required. Our 5-day paid instructor training program is designed to help technical professionals - including those coming out of military aviation roles - successfully move into instructional work. 

Why Veterans Make Exceptional Aviation Instructors 

Military aviation maintenance demands precision, discipline, and the ability to teach others under pressure. Those are the same qualities that define the best A&P instructors. In this role, you'll: 

  • Translate hands-on aircraft maintenance experience - military or civilian - into classroom instruction
  • Mentor students preparing for careers as Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs)
  • Work in a structured, mission-driven environment with clear standards and expectations
  • Continue building expertise while shaping the next generation of FAA-certified mechanics 

About the Role 

As an Aircraft Maintenance Instructor (A&P Mechanic Instructor), you'll deliver FAA Part 147-aligned aviation maintenance curriculum and provide hands-on instruction in classroom and active hangar environments. This role is well-suited to military-trained aviation maintainers with civilian A&P certification who want a stable, mission-oriented next chapter. 

Schedule Options 

  • Option 1 (Days): Monday - Friday 7am-3:30pm OR
  • Option 2 (Nights): Monday - Thursday 3pm-11:30pm and Friday 9am-4p

Key Responsibilities 

  • Teach aircraft maintenance systems, procedures, and techniques in a hands-on environment
  • Deliver FAA-aligned curriculum to prepare students for A&P certification
  • Demonstrate practical skills used by A&P mechanics and aviation technicians
  • Maintain accurate records of attendance, grades, and student progress
  • Support curriculum updates and collaborate with program leadership
  • Help create a structured, engaging, and safety-focused learning environment
  • Maintain classroom, lab equipment, and training materials  

Qualifications 

Education 

  • High School Diploma or GED required
  • Associate degree in aviation or related field preferred  

Experience 

  • Minimum 3 years of aircraft maintenance experience  
  • Background as an A&P Mechanic, Aircraft Mechanic, or Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT)  

Licensure 

  • FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Mechanic Certificate required  

Skills 

  • Strong knowledge of aircraft systems and aviation maintenance procedures
  • Interest in mentoring, coaching, and developing others
  • Ability to work in a structured, compliance-driven training environment
  • Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint)
  • Flexibility to support evening or weekend schedules as needed  

What We Offer 

  • Competitive hourly pay 
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off (PTO)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
