Job Type: Full-Time | 100% On-Site
Starting Pay: $25.00 per hour, with higher compensation available based on experience.
Schedule: Monday–Friday
Join a Growing Aviation Company
C8 Aviation is expanding, and we're looking for motivated individuals who want to grow with us.
Now in our third year of business, C8 Aviation is backed by 40 years of aircraft parts industry experience, combining
decades of aviation knowledge, established industry relationships, and an entrepreneurial approach to the aircraft
parts marketplace.
We specialize in aircraft parts sales, purchasing, inventory management, and distribution, serving commercial,
corporate, and general aviation customers throughout domestic and international markets.
Over the next three months, C8 Aviation is preparing to undertake the teardown of two aircraft, introducing a
substantial volume of aircraft components into our growing inventory. These components will be identified,
researched, cataloged, evaluated, and offered back to an active global aviation marketplace.
As our operations expand, so does our need for talented individuals who can contribute across multiple areas of the
business.
We're building a team, not simply filling positions.

than one side of the business.
