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.

• Troubleshoot and repair gas and diesel engines, hydraulic systems, drivetrains, and battery-operated equipment
• Perform light and heavy-duty tire and wheel changes
• 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
