KBFS is currently seeking an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Mechanic to join their team in Temple, Texas. This crucial role involves managing and inspecting aircraft maintenance activities including overhauls, modifications, and repairs of aircraft structures, engines, drivetrains, electrical systems, and accessories. The position demands meticulous attention to scheduling and logistical coordination to ensure minimal aircraft downtime by effectively managing workflows, tool availability, and supply chains. This is a hands-on role that requires the mechanic to order parts, lubricants, and supplies timely, and to perform scheduled and unscheduled services including operational checks and troubleshooting. The A&P Mechanic is expected to collaborate closely with supply personnel to fulfill work order requirements and support operational readiness.
