Position Summary
Rapid AOG is assembling a 12-person contract crew to perform the airframe portion of a Boeing 767 C1 check for a Part 121 air carrier. The A&P Technician performs scheduled inspection task cards, documents findings, and completes close-up on assigned zones under the direction of a Working Lead.
The operator provides the hangar, tooling and equipment, interiors and powerplant crews, a structures team for repair dispositions, and the inspectors responsible for Required Inspection Items and card buyback.

Work consists of zonal and detailed inspections, discrepancy write-ups, and panel close-up. Interior, powerplant, and structural repair tasks remain with the operator.
Crew Organization and Sign-Off
Technicians are assigned to small area teams, each owning a zone from open-up through close-up. Each technician signs for their own work on the task cards. The Working Lead, badged and authorized under the operator's General Maintenance Manual (GMM), closes out completed cards and findings. Required Inspection Items (RII) are inspected and bought back by the operator's inspectors.
