    Employment: Part-time

    Are you an A&P Mechanic ready for a new chapter in your aviation career?

    The Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM)—the largest aviation maintenance training school in the U.S.—is seeking experienced Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs), Aircraft Mechanics, and FAA-certified A&P Mechanics to join our team as instructors.

    If you have hands-on experience in aircraft maintenance and enjoy mentoring others, this is your opportunity to step out of the hangar and into a role where you can shape the next generation of aviation professionals.

    This opportunity is ideal for professionals exploring aviation mechanic jobs, aircraft maintenance careers, or instructor roles in aviation training.

    No prior teaching experience required. We provide a 5-day paid instructor training program to help you successfully transition into the classroom.

    Why Consider Teaching?

    Many skilled A&P mechanics and aviation technicians don’t initially consider teaching—but those who do often find it to be one of the most rewarding paths in their career.

    At AIM, you’ll:

    • Share your real-world aircraft maintenance experience with future technicians
    • Enjoy more predictable schedules compared to field work
    • Make a lasting impact on students entering the aviation industry
    • Continue growing your own knowledge while developing others 

    About the Role

    As an Aircraft Maintenance Instructor (A&P Mechanic Instructor), you will deliver FAA Part 147-aligned aviation maintenance curriculum and provide hands-on instruction to students preparing for careers as aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs).

    This role is ideal for experienced A&P mechanics, aircraft mechanics, and aviation maintenance professionals who want to combine technical expertise with mentorship and training while delivering hands-on aviation maintenance instruction in classroom and active hangar environments.  

    Schedule Options (Part-Time)

    • Option 1: Monday – Thursday: 7:00am – 2:30pm
    • Option 2: Monday – Thursday: 4:00pm – 11:00pm

    Key Responsibilities

    • Teach aircraft maintenance systems, procedures, and techniques in a hands-on environment 
    • Deliver FAA-aligned curriculum to prepare students for A&P certification
    • Demonstrate practical skills used by A&P mechanics and aviation technicians
    • Maintain accurate records of attendance, grades, and student progress 
    • Support curriculum updates and collaborate with program leadership
    • Help create a structured, engaging, and safety-focused learning environment
    • Maintain classroom, lab equipment, and training materials

    Qualifications

    Education

    • High School Diploma or GED required 
    • Associate degree in aviation or related field preferred

    Experience

    • Minimum 3 years of aircraft maintenance experience 
    • Background as an A&P Mechanic, Aircraft Mechanic, or Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) 

    Licensure

    • FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Mechanic Certificate required 

    Skills

    • Strong knowledge of aircraft systems and aviation maintenance procedures 
    • Interest in mentoring, coaching, and developing others
    • Ability to work in a structured, compliance-driven training environment 
    • Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint)
    • Flexibility to support evening or weekend schedules as needed

    We are committed to fostering a workplace that values integrity, growth, and student success.

    Apply today to join the team at Aviation Institute of Maintenance and help train the next generation of A&P mechanics.
