Aircraft Mechanic

Roles and responsibilities

Candidate must have good mechanical skills to operate and use equipment, such as but not limited to, forklift, tractor, overhead cranes, etc. to do their job.
As an aircraft mechanic candidate will be working on Boeing 777, B787, A380, and A350 aircrafts, do you
Must have hands on experience with engine split, mate, and Power plant build-up on these aircraft.
Candidate will be responsible for inspecting, repairing, and maintaining the fleet of aircraft to ensure they meet safety and regulatory standards.
Diagnose mechanical or electrical problems.
Repair wings, brakes, electrical systems, and other aircraft components. Replace defective parts, using hand tools or power tools.
Able to use precision measuring tools
Maintain equipment and tools
Working with sealants
Must have knowledge on CDCCL when relevant.
Must have knowledge on EWIS when relevant.
Able to use Airbus AirNav and Boeing Toolbox
Able to properly process removed, uninstalled and rejected parts
Inspection and Maintenance
Conduct Routine Inspections: Perform scheduled inspections as per maintenance manuals, regulatory requirements, and airline or manufacturer specifications. Inspections may include checks on airframes, engines, landing gear, avionics, and hydraulic systems.
Pre-Flight and Post-Flight Inspections: Inspect aircraft before and after flights to ensure that they are in good condition and free from defects that could affect safe operation.
Maintenance Tasks: Carry out preventative maintenance, including lubricating parts, changing filters, replacing worn components, and cleaning aircraft systems.

Desired candidate profile
