You’ll learn all the essential manual skills: drilling, riveting, bending, grinding, assembling, measuring, testing and even welding. From planning to assembly, you’re involved every step of the way, bringing parts to life. 

Depending on where you are assigned, you could be building lightweight metal parts in the precision manufacturing shop, inspecting wings and tail units on the aircraft assembly line, marrying entire fuselage and wing sections or working with Maintenance to keep our aircraft in top shape – including repairs and servicing.
