Job Description

BigFoot Staffing is partnering with a respected aviation maintenance provider to help grow their skilled team. We're looking for an Aircraft Mechanic with 3–5 years of A&P experience, preferably with a background in General Aviation (GA). This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who either holds—or is interested in pursuing—their IA certification.

You’ll play a key role in maintenance operations, partnering closely with the current IA and taking the lead on inspections, complex troubleshooting, and high-quality repairs. For the right candidate, this position offers mentorship and growth into a senior leadership or IA role.

This role is ideal for someone who:

Brings solid A&P experience with GA aircraft and wants to take the next step professionally
Is confident leading inspections, solving complex mechanical issues, and mentoring junior techs
Is interested in (or already has) their IA and wants to be part of a high-quality, trusted shop
Is driven by pride in workmanship, safety, and continuous learning

Requirements:

FAA A&P License
3–5 years of recent hands-on experience with General Aviation aircraft
Strong mechanical and troubleshooting skills
Familiarity with a wide range of tools and diagnostic equipment
Ability to pass an FAA drug screening
IA certification a strong plus—but not required

Schedule & Benefits:

Schedule: Day shift | Flexible Full-time
Pay: Starting at $40/hour and up depending on experience and certification level

Comprehensive Benefits Include:

401(k) with company matching
Life insurance
Paid time off & paid sick time
Tuition reimbursement (including IA prep support)
Relocation assistance
Retirement plan
Open to second-chance employment

If you're ready to bring your A&P skills to a team that values quality, precision, and growth, we'd love to connect. BigFoot Staffing is excited to help you find your next adventure in aviation—one that’s more than just a job.
