Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas:
1. Comprehensive knowledge of principles governing the behavior of fluids and basic electrical and mechanical principles to repair and test various complex fuel system components, subsystems, and systems that are designed for proportional input of variable forces or conditions, control rates of change, and have multiple stage functions, and automatic reset or adjustment circuits (such as regulating and vacuum relief valves, refuel valves, engine feed valves, crossed valves, defuel valves, vent valves, boost pumps, transfer pumps, fuel filters manifold valves, anti vapor systems, fuel tank safety foam, and similar items) on assigned aircraft. 2. Knowledge of safety regulations, practices and procedures. 3. Skill to modify and assemble parts to specified tolerance, remove defects by honing, lapping, or adding and removing shims until specified measurements are met, an 4. Ability to apply standard formulae, shop mathematics, trade theories, and industry practices in isolating the causes of malfunctions; to hook up and operate fuel test stands to perform dynamic and static pressure test and pump and valve performance tests; and to make electrical test of components in the fuel system. 5. Ability to use hand and power tools,jigs, fixtures, and instruments such as feeler gauges, micrometers, force indicators, dynarnometers, voltmeters, torque wrenches, optical flat instruments, and combustible gas and oxygen alarm/analyzer. 6. Ability to read, interpret, and use technical orders, manufacturer's specification manuals, parts supply books, blueprints and schematic diagrams. 7. Ability to make qualitative evaluations of the internal seals and leak rates of components, check all parts for critical dimensions, analyze the cause of failures, and make the necessary repairs and adjustments to render the components serviceable within required specifications. 8. Ability to maintain records and document actions manually or by computer terminal. 9. Ability to inspect completed work of others, perform in-progress inspections, clear Reel X conditions, and to instruct personnel requiring training in fuel system maintenance. PHYSICAL EFFORT:
Frequently required to work in awkward, cramped and confined spaces when removing, repairing and replacing fuel bladder cells, integral fuel tanks, and to exercise visual and tactile sensitivity to lapping, polishing, adjusting and aligning items. Frequently handles objects weighting up to 20 pounds, and on occasion objects up to 50 pounds, other workers are available to assist in moving heavier items. Required to lift, reach, push, pull, bend, walk, sit and stand for prolonged periods of time. WORKING CONDITIONS:
Possibility of physical damage caused by inhalation and prolonged exposure to JP-8 fuel, chemicals, flammable, volatile and toxic chemicals both in liquid and vapor form. Required to wear full-face air supplied or half face respirators for extended periods of time. Required to perform confined space entries as outlined in applicable technical orders and other safety regulations or directives. Subject to work in excessive heat, cold, noise, electrical energy and slippery or uneven walking services. Works around machinery with moving parts, and aircraft running engines. Incumbent is required to take a physical exam prior to starting work and an annual exam thereafter for detection of possible skin irritations, burns, lead poisoning, liver damage, respiratory disorders, heat stress disorders and hearing problems. Subject to hazardous noise while working on the flightline. PART-TIME OR UNPAID
Experience:
Credit will be given for appropriate unpaid and or part-time work. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week. VOLUNTEER WORK
Experience:
Refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service Programs (i.e., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student and social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge and skills that can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment.You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
