If you’re ready to work on our planes, join our Tech Ops experts and help keep our fleet in tip-top shape.
Are you passionate about aviation? Would you like to maintain some of the biggest and best aircraft in the world? If so, there’s no better place to be than United Airlines. We’re looking for a full-time Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT) who has valid Airframe & Powerplant certification to join our Technical Operations team in one of United’s domestic HUBS.

Keeping our fleet flight-ready
• Strong mechanical competence and attention to detail are crucial for this critical position.

• We will rely on you to be a great teammate, receiving and providing support as you collaborate professionally and seamlessly with your co-workers.
• You will generally be working out in the elements, so you must be capable of handling weather extremes.

Flexibility and dependability are essential
• Since this is a union position based on seniority, you will be assigned an initial schedule designed to meet our needs at the airport.
• You must be available for any shift within a 24/7 operation, weekends and holidays
• You may be required to work mandatory overtime, when necessary.
• Punctuality and reliability are essential – we’ve got flight schedules to meet!
The rewards for your expertise and work ethic
• Great benefits, including several plan options
• Flight privileges from day one: you and your family can fly anywhere in the world on stand-by
• Time off: you’ll have at least two days off in a row and can earn vacation days based on length of service
What’s needed to succeed (Minimum Qualifications):
• High School Diploma or GED/Educational Equivalent
• FAA A&P License
• Valid US Drivers License
• Computer literacy
• Must pass a background check and drug screen upon contingent job offer
• An eagerness to learn and willingness to train
