AIRCRAFT MECHANIC

*Position is contingent upon contract award*

DRG is looking to fill a contract position with the T-7A Red Hawk Advanced Pilot Training program at JBSA Randolph. The Program is in a critical early phase of introduction to the United States Air Force, managed in partnership with Boeing. As a stand-up program, it requires a high degree of collective effort, personal accountability, and a pioneering mindset from every team member. This is not a traditional siloed maintenance organization with separate shops for each aircraft system. Rather, it is a fully integrated, collaborative maintenance environment in which Ground Handling, Hydraulics, Electrical, Avionics/Instrument Technicians, and Engine Maintenance personnel work together as one team to stand up and mature sustainment capabilities for this history-making airframe. This position offers a unique opportunity to help shape the foundation of USAF pilot training for the next generation on an aircraft that will serve for decades to come.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain, inspect, troubleshoot, and repair T-7 aircraft systems, including communications/navigation, instrument, mechanical, electrical, and avionics components, in accordance with applicable technical orders, schematics, and maintenance data.
• Diagnose faults to the component level and perform repairs using technical data, test equipment, and approved procedures.
• Operate ground support equipment and perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on assigned aircraft.
• Remove and install aircraft panels and components to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Ensure strict compliance with safety, environmental, tool control, FOD prevention, and quality assurance programs.
• Accurately complete all required maintenance documentation manually and electronically in accordance with USAF and company policies, including proper annotation of AFTO 781 forms and entries into IMDS.
• Provide on-the-job training, technical mentorship, and guidance to less experienced technicians.
• Participate in and support scheduled inspections, phased maintenance, and other maintenance program tasks.
• Collaborate effectively across all maintenance disciplines to support the integrated introduction and sustainment of T-7 operations.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
