About Alpha Aviation

Alpha Aviation LLC is a locally owned and operated helicopter company built on decades of experience flying and supporting remote operations throughout Alaska. Our team is passionate about this state and about rotary-wing aviation — and it shows in everything we do. With a growing fleet of AS350 B2/B3s, Robinson R44IIs, and additional aircraft on the way, we're building out our maintenance department with experienced, safety-minded professionals who take pride in their work.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled and motivated A&P Mechanic to join our growing maintenance team. You'll perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on a dynamic mixed fleet, work alongside experienced pilots and fellow mechanics, and play a direct role in keeping our operations safe and airworthy. Whether you prefer a standard Monday–Friday schedule or a more flexible arrangement, we have options that work for you.

What You'll Do

• Perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, inspections, and repairs on AS350 and R44 helicopters per FAA regulations and manufacturer standards
• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and avionics issues
• Install, modify, and repair aircraft systems and components
• Maintain accurate, complete records and required FAA documentation
• Communicate clearly with pilots, fellow mechanics, and management
• Support fleet expansion with new aircraft onboarding as our fleet continues to grow

Compensation

$35–$60 per hour, depending on experience and field work requirements. We reward expertise — mechanics with strong AS350 experience and the ability to work in the field can expect compensation toward the higher end of this range.

Benefits

• Competitive hourly rate with field pay premium
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Per diem for qualifying field assignments
• Opportunities for career growth and advancement as our fleet and team expand

Schedule Options

We are hiring for two schedule types:

• Standard — Monday through Friday, regular business hours
• Flexible — Variable schedule including field work assignments, occasional evenings/weekends; ideal for candidates who thrive in dynamic, field-based environments and prefer adaptability over a fixed routine

What You Bring

• FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) Certificate — required
• Minimum 3 years of experience on AS350 helicopters — preferred
• Experience with Robinson R44 — strongly preferred
• Bell medium helicopter experience — a plus
• Solid mechanical and electrical skills; working knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and avionics
• Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, schematics, and engineering drawings
• Detail-oriented, procedure-driven, and able to work both independently and as part of a team
• Willingness to work flexible hours and occasional weekends when operations require
