The Mid-Level MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) Technician performs hands-on maintenance, inspection, and repair of mechanical systems and assemblies in aerospace platforms. Working with minimal supervision, this technician troubleshoots mechanical issues, executes preventative and corrective maintenance tasks, and ensures full compliance with OEM manuals, repair procedures, and airworthiness standards.
Key Responsibilities:
Perform disassembly, detailed inspection, repair, and reassembly of mechanical components such as actuators, valves, landing gear, brackets, and hydraulic/pneumatic subsystems
Use OEM Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs), Engineering Orders (EOs), and Service Bulletins (SBs) to perform repairs in accordance with regulatory standards (FAA, EASA, AS9110)
Conduct precision measurements using micrometers, calipers, torque tools, and other inspection gauges to assess part tolerances and wear
Perform functional and pressure testing of mechanical subsystems and document results in maintenance records
Troubleshoot mechanical failures and identify root causes, working in coordination with engineers or quality inspectors as needed
Maintain accurate records of maintenance actions, part conditions, and repair history in digital maintenance systems (e.g., AMOS, TRAX, RAMCO)
Ensure adherence to safety, cleanliness, and FOD control procedures in MRO facilities
Support tooling calibration, kitting of replacement parts, and review of component airworthiness tags
Assist in mentoring junior technicians and supporting audits and quality reviews
Key Focus Areas:
Independent mechanical repair and overhaul tasks for aerospace hardware
Application of maintenance documentation and quality procedures
Testing, inspection, and troubleshooting of mechanical systems
Maintenance recordkeeping and MRO process improvement
