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

Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) is hiring Aircraft Maintenance Instructors 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.
