Bay Area based. Field ready.
The job is the clock: get the inspection done so the aircraft can leave. We come to the ramp, hangar, or shop — 27720 Industrial Blvd, Hayward, CA 94545, minutes from SFO, SJC, and OAK — instead of waiting on a ferry. Their published line is prompt worldwide field service, not a guaranteed hour count.
After-hours coverage is not listed until those hours are confirmed. Call for AOG / field dispatch.
