Corporate Aircraft A&P Technician – Mobile AOG

Company: Rapid AOG Services Location: Tampa, FL — dispatching from Tampa International Airport (KTPA), covering West Coast Florida Job Type: On-Call, As-Needed — 1099 Independent Contractor Pay: $50–$60 per hour, based on experience, with a four-hour minimum per dispatched call-out Please Read First: This Is an On-Call Position This is not a full-time or part-time job with a set schedule. Work is dispatched as AOG events and maintenance requests come in. There is no guaranteed number of hours, shifts, or call-outs per week or month. Call volume varies with season and customer demand. This position fits a technician who already has flexibility in their schedule and wants paid AOG work when it comes up, not a technician who needs a predictable weekly paycheck. If you need guaranteed hours, this position is not the right fit. What is guaranteed: every dispatched call-out pays a minimum of four hours at your agreed rate, and travel time is paid. About the Role Rapid AOG Services is a mobile aircraft maintenance company providing Aircraft on Ground (AOG) response, line maintenance, inspections, troubleshooting, and recovery support for Part 91 and Part 135 corporate aircraft. We are seeking an experienced corporate aircraft A&P technician to support our Tampa and West Coast Florida service area. When dispatched, the technician reports to KTPA, picks up the company service vehicle, and travels to the customer's aircraft. Occasional overnight assignments throughout the Florida Panhandle, including Destin and Tallahassee, may be offered. This is a mobile, field-based role. You will work alone most of the time, directly with flight crews, flight departments, and maintenance controllers, often under time pressure. Availability Expectations Because this is on-call work, availability is what makes the position work for both sides. We are looking for a technician who can: Respond promptly when contacted for a dispatch and give a clear yes or no. Accept after-hours and weekend call-outs on a regular basis. Be available for major holidays. AOG events do not stop for holidays, and holiday coverage is a core part of this role. Accept occasional overnight assignments in the Florida Panhandle. Holiday call-outs are paid at 1.5 times the technician's regular hourly rate. Responsibilities Respond to dispatched AOG and line-maintenance events throughout Tampa and West Coast Florida. Perform inspections, troubleshooting, repairs, servicing, component replacements, operational checks, and scheduled maintenance tasks. Diagnose and correct mechanical, electrical, and avionics discrepancies. Complete maintenance records in accordance with FAA regulations, approved technical data, and company procedures. Communicate professionally with aircraft owners, flight crews, maintenance controllers, flight departments, FBO personnel, and Rapid AOG management. Keep the company service vehicle clean, organized, and properly stocked, and maintain accountability for company tools and equipment. Represent Rapid AOG Services with professionalism, integrity, and strong customer service.
