Must possess working knowledge of health hazards associated with maintenance and proper mitigation procedures, such as decontamination and housekeeping; skill in assembling and repairing aircraft parts and components using specialized fasteners, classified adhesives and advanced composites; and working knowledge of assigned computer systems such as, IMIS, IMS, ALIS, SAS, and/or LOHAS used for maintenance planning, technical instruction, and maintenance documentation. Competent in identifying proper repair materials using engineering drawings to ensure correct radar band frequency is being mitigated. Skilled in verifying materials that match engineering drawings using reflecto-meter probes. Experienced and skilled in fabricating repair parts from RAM, cutting tools, and adhering these parts to aircraft surfaces and fasteners using vacuum bags, fixtures, and other pressure inducing processes. Skilled and experienced in applying scrim (gauze-like) materials to RAM and aircraft surfaces in preparation for RAM cover strip installation. Experiences included installing RAM cover strips to panel and skin gaps; applying RAM pastes to aircraft surface gaps, voids, and gouges; sanding and skiving RAM and RAM pastes to required aircraft contours; and, repairing LO treatments on polycarbonate transparencies using edge sealing compounds, adhesives, primers, and conductive films.
This position may be filled at the WG-05 or WG-07 trainee grade or the target grade of WG-10. An applicant who is selected at one of the trainee grades will have potential for promotion to the target grade of WG-10 without further competition.
