A Line Maintenance Assistant supports the maintenance and repair of aircraft at airports, primarily focusing on tasks conducted while the aircraft is on the ground between flights. Working under the supervision of licensed aircraft maintenance engineers, this role involves assisting with inspections, refuelling, checking fluid levels, replacing minor components, and preparing tools and equipment for scheduled maintenance activities.
Line Maintenance Assistants often help ensure that all tasks are performed in compliance with aviation safety regulations and airline protocols. They are also responsible for recording maintenance activities and reporting any irregularities or potential issues to senior technicians. This role requires good physical fitness, attention to detail, and a basic understanding of mechanical or aviation systems.
