We are seeking experienced Aircraft Structural Mechanics to support Aircraft on operations on Boeing 737 aircraft. This is a hands-on field role focused on structural repairs, including the removal and replacement of aircraft structures and major skin changes. Mechanics will travel between customer sites throughout the Wichita, KS area to respond quickly to maintenance requirements.
