Job:2206-Aircraft Mechanic
Samaritan's Purse is looking for an experienced A&P mechanic to serve full time with its East Africa aviation team. We currently operate the following aircraft types from our base in Eldoret, Kenya: DC-3T, King Air 200, and Cessna Grand Caravan. The ideal candidate will have at least 10 years of experience on similar type or PT6 powered aircraft, has a proven history in a broad range of maintenance activities, can function very well both independently and in a close knit team, and has some experience working overseas. Days often begin early and end late, whether it be launching an aircraft, assisting with cargo loading, or fulfilling our primary task of maintaining aircraft. What we do is extraordinary.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on aircraft so that they are available for dispatch as scheduled. This may mean extended work hours, weekends, or working nights to return the aircraft to service.
  • Perform engineering duties in a timely, efficient and accurate manner.
  • Ensure continued airworthiness of the aircraft.
  • Ensure the aircraft are clean and neat.
  • Ensure the aircraft records are current and complete.
  • Maintain the equipment and facilities for the aircraft.
  • Maintenance personnel are often required to be overnight at out locations in support of our operations - up to 30% of the time depending on our activity. Personnel should anticipate many of the locations being austere with few amenities. Showers, a hot meal, and even a bed may not be available. Sleeping in the aircraft may at times be required.
  • Be willing and comfortable working in remote environments, with little support structure, often in war zones.
  • When humanitarian crisis arise, it may be necessary to temporarily deploy away from the home base for several weeks, and even up to 30 days at a time.
  • Assess, manage, and report critical physical, emotional, or spiritual concerns of supervised staff.
QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Fifth year college or university program certificate; or two to four years related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • One year of college-level Biblical studies is preferred.
  • Maintain FAA Airframe and Powerplant Certificate.
  • 2 years of commercial/for profit aviation experience.
  • Technical records and/or inventory management experience.
  • 2 years of living and/or working overseas, preferred.
  • Management/leadership experience, preferred.
  • Inspector Authorization, preferred.
This position can accommodate a family.
