Electrician

The Gig

This is a contract role with The Structures Company, LLC for a top tier aerospace client in San Antonio, TX. You're looking at a 12 month contract (with potential to extend) working on the 787 program. Pay lands between $29 and $36 an hour.

And there's a $5,000 bonus attached to this one.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You'll work flight test installations and aircraft functional testing. Troubleshooting is a big part of it ; you'll dig into pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, and avionics systems to isolate faults, then support repairs on the bad components.

• Pre flight and post flight checks, plus maintenance and modification work
• Resolve issues that pop up during operation and testing of deliverable products
• Verify your own work through self inspections
• System and subsystem pre delivery inspections; aircraft prep for delivery
• Help figure out assignment details to get a wide range of objectives done
• Plan, schedule, and coordinate your activities with guidance from team leads
• Your work gets reviewed after completion to make sure it meets objectives
• Professional workplace behavior all the way ; no exceptions

What You Need to Bring

The basics: high school diploma or GED, plus at least one year of related work experience. Or an equivalent combo like vocational training or an associate degree. You also need to be able to work any shift ; days, nights, weekends ; because this is a variable shift position. Your specific shift gets assigned when you're hired based on business needs, and you stay on that shift until something changes.

• A minimum of 6 months avionics or electrical experience
• A minimum of 6 months working with live aircraft systems and flight operations
• A minimum of 6 months of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) prevention knowledge and risk mitigation experience
• Must be a U.S. Citizen as defined under ITAR regulations

The Stuff That Gets You Noticed (Preferred)

• 3+ years of related work experience or an equivalent education/experience combo
• An FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) License
• 6+ months in aerospace, fabrication, or manufacturing environments
• 6+ months working on wide body aircraft programs like the 787 specifically would help a lot here too since they want experience with those larger platforms where things are just different than narrow body birds... but don't worry if you haven't touched one yet because any wide body time counts even if it wasn't Boeing - what matters most is understanding how those bigger airframes behave differently during flight ops compared to smaller jets so if you've got that under your belt already then great; otherwise keep reading below for more preferred qualifications that could still land you this gig:
