This is an excellent opportunity for accomplished aircraft structures professionals who take pride in precision workmanship, advanced structural assembly techniques, and delivering exceptional quality in an aerospace manufacturing environment.

We are specifically seeking experienced, high-performing technicians—not entry-level assemblers. Ideal candidates will have extensive hands-on experience with aircraft sheet metal, precision drilling, riveting, structural fastening, and complex aircraft assemblies.

Responsibilities:

Perform precision aircraft structural assembly, fitting, installation, and fastening in accordance with engineering drawings and manufacturing specifications.
Drill, ream, and countersink close-tolerance holes while maintaining required edge distance, pitch, spacing, and angularity.
Install aircraft structural hardware, including solid rivets, blind rivets, Hi-Loks, Hi-Lites, Jo-Bolts, and other specialized fasteners.
Perform precision sheet-metal fitting, alignment, riveting, and assembly of aircraft structural components.
Operate pneumatic and electric tools, including rivet guns, drill motors, angle drills, torque wrenches, and specialized assembly equipment.
Use precision measuring equipment, including calipers, micrometers, depth gauges, grip gauges, and go/no-go gauges.
Interpret complex aircraft blueprints, engineering drawings, work instructions, and manufacturing specifications.
Perform structural sealing, surface preparation, and corrosion-protection processes as required.
Inspect completed work for dimensional accuracy, fastener installation quality, and compliance with applicable specifications.
Identify and communicate manufacturing discrepancies and quality concerns.
Maintain strict adherence to aerospace quality standards, safety procedures, and foreign object debris (FOD) prevention requirements.

Qualifications:

Minimum 10 years of hands-on aircraft structural assembly or aircraft sheet-metal experience.
Demonstrated experience performing precision structural assembly in an aerospace manufacturing or aircraft production environment.
Advanced proficiency in close-tolerance drilling, reaming, countersinking, and structural fastener installation.
Extensive hands-on experience with solid riveting, pneumatic riveting equipment, and aircraft structural hardware.
Ability to independently read and interpret complex aircraft engineering drawings and manufacturing instructions.
Strong working knowledge of aircraft sheet-metal fabrication, structural fitting, and assembly techniques.
Proficiency with precision measuring instruments and aerospace tooling.
Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality work within demanding dimensional and manufacturing tolerances.
High school diploma or equivalent.
Ability to successfully complete all required technical assessments and qualification requirements.
Willingness and ability to complete a hands-on plate test in Mobile, Alabama, before assignment.
