Job Description: Aircraft Paint Specialist


The Environment:


A truly unique opportunity that is unmatched anywhere else - whether you are early in your career and taking the right first step, or an experienced professional of several years searching for that next role that truly excites you. ITPS is a test pilot school using the latest technology and teaching techniques to train the highest level of pilots and flight test professionals from around the world. Our teaching aids are the aircraft themselves. We use a wide-ranging fleet of 20 aircraft with over 10 aircraft types to demonstrate the unique characteristics of each type of aircraft. We have in our hangar military jet trainers, single and twin-piston aircraft, large amphibious aircraft, and a variety of helicopters and simulators.

The ITPS team continually maintains and enhances this fleet to keep our curriculum at the forefront of the latest technology and flight-test methods. In addition to maintaining the fleet to meet the operational needs of the flight test school, our modification projects range from small avionics upgrades to full-aircraft data sensor installation, to heavy modifications that affect the operational and flying characteristics of the aircraft. The environment is hands-on and collaborative. Our work is practical, multi-disciplinary and highly targeted for a special mission.

We are looking for a skilled and dedicated Aircraft Paint Specialist who is passionate about precision and quality. Whether you have a strong background in automotive painting or previous experience in aircraft painting, you will find this role both challenging and rewarding. Our ideal candidate is detail-oriented, takes pride in their work, and is eager to contribute to a dynamic and innovative team. As part of the ITPS team, you'll be involved in projects that are critical to our mission, enhancing the appearance and functionality of our diverse fleet. If you thrive in a collaborative environment and are excited by the prospect of working with a variety of aircraft, this is the perfect opportunity for you.


Key Responsibilities:


  • Prepare aircraft surfaces for painting, including cleaning, sanding, masking, and priming.
  • Apply paint and coatings to aircraft using a variety of techniques, such as spraying, brushing, and rolling, ensuring a high-quality finish.
  • Mix and match paints according to specifications, maintaining consistency in colour and texture.
  • Inspect completed work for quality and adherence to specifications, making necessary adjustments or corrections as needed.
  • Collaborate with other team members to coordinate painting schedules and ensure timely completion of projects.
  • Maintain a clean and organized workspace, adhering to safety protocols and environmental regulations.
  • Document work processes and materials used, keeping accurate records for each project.

Qualifications:

  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Good physical stamina and the ability to work in a variety of positions, including standing, bending, and lifting.
