What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)

"Working on 747-8 freighters at UPS Airlines is the pinnacle of cargo aircraft maintenance. The aircraft are modern, the tooling is world-class, the Teamsters wage is the strongest in cargo aviation at this market, and the professional culture in the hangar is excellent — experienced mechanics who take their FAA responsibilities seriously and a management team that respects technical expertise. I have worked for three cargo carriers and UPS Airlines is in a completely different tier for pay, equipment quality, and career development. Best aircraft mechanic job in commercial cargo aviation." - Current Aircraft Mechanic, Louisville, KY.

Role Overview & Responsibilities

As a UPS Aircraft Mechanic, you perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, inspection, and repair of UPS Airlines aircraft under FAA Part 43 regulations and UPS Airlines' FAA-approved Aircraft Maintenance Manual — returning each aircraft to airworthy status within the maintenance window that meets the daily flight operations schedule at UPS's Louisville Worldport hub.

• Scheduled Maintenance Execution: Complete UPS Airlines' scheduled maintenance checks — A Check (approximately every 500 flight hours), C Check (approximately every 18 to 24 months), and heavy D Check structural inspections — following the UPS Airlines Aircraft Maintenance Manual task card system, documenting every maintenance action in the TRAX MRO system with your A&P license number and FAA Certificate number as the approving return-to-service signature.
• Airworthiness Directive Compliance: Research and comply with applicable FAA Airworthiness Directives affecting the assigned aircraft fleet type — verifying AD applicability against the aircraft's serial number, accomplishing the AD-required inspection or modification within the compliance time frame, and completing the AD compliance entry in the aircraft's permanent maintenance records using the exact regulatory language required by 14 CFR Part 43.
• Aircraft Return-to-Service Authorization: Sign the FAA Form 337 or aircraft logbook return-to-service entry after completing each maintenance task — using your A&P certificate number to certify that the work was performed in accordance with the approved data and that the aircraft is airworthy for return to revenue service — a legal signature that carries full FAA regulatory weight and personal certificate liability.

Benefits & Perks

UPS Aircraft Mechanics receive Teamsters union wages that rank among the highest in cargo aviation maintenance, full medical, dental, and vision benefits, a defined-benefit pension, paid vacation, and access to continuous FAA-approved type-rating training on UPS Airlines aircraft platforms. FAA A&P certificate with Inspection Authorization (IA) holders receive an additional hourly premium. This is the most complete compensation package available to cargo aircraft maintenance professionals in the United States.
