Job Description

Description

We're looking for a skilled and safety-focused GSE Mechanic I to help keep our Ground Support Equipment operating at peak performance. In this hands-on role, you'll inspect, maintain, repair, and overhaul both powered and non-powered GSE-playing a critical role in reliable airport operations.

Beyond turning wrenches, you'll be a trusted technical resource, mentoring less experienced mechanics and stepping into a leadership role when the Supervisor is unavailable.

  • Accurately complete maintenance and repair documentation in compliance with all carrier, airport, municipal, state, and federal requirements
  • Respond to emergency service calls and incidents involving GSE
  • Serve as a liaison between ABX and contractors for equipment maintenance, modification, and operations
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior mechanics
  • Oversee maintenance work in the absence of a Supervisor
  • Maintain strong communication with all levels of the organization
  • Support facility or property equipment maintenance as directed by management
  • Work independently while consistently practicing safety-conscious behaviors
