The Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 138,090 aircraft mechanics and service technicians in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten aircraft mechanics and service technicians wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Duty 01
Inspect completed work to certify that maintenance meets standards and that aircraft are ready for operation.
Duty 02
Read and interpret maintenance manuals, service bulletins, and other specifications to determine the feasibility and method of repairing or replacing malfunctioning or damaged components.
Duty 03
Maintain repair logs, documenting all preventive and corrective aircraft maintenance.
Duty 04
Examine and inspect aircraft components, including landing gear, hydraulic systems, and deicers to locate cracks, breaks, leaks, or other problems.
Duty 05
Conduct routine and special inspections as required by regulations.
Duty 06
Replace or repair worn, defective, or damaged components, using hand tools, gauges, and testing equipment.
Tools that signal you're current

The systems you actually run — on the record.

Listing the software and platforms you work with is a quiet credibility signal buyers notice. These are the hot and in-demand technologies O*NET associates with aircraft mechanics and service technicians (★ = flagged hot technology). Your card shows the ones that fit your shop.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $776M in Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
