About the Team
Established in 1969, the Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) is a premier institution dedicated to advancing the field of aviation maintenance through exceptional education and training. With 15 campuses nationwide, AIM is a cornerstone in the aviation industry, accounting for 20% of all students attending FAA-certified Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) schools across the country. Each year, AIM proudly contributes to the graduation of nearly one in four certified aircraft technicians in America.
At AIM, you will become part of a dynamic team of educators and leaders, all united by a shared commitment to delivering top-notch training and ensuring student success. We are passionate about equipping the next generation of aircraft technicians with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the aviation industry. If you are eager to make a meaningful impact and help shape the future of aviation maintenance, AIM offers a rewarding environment where your contributions will truly matter.
About the Role
AIM is hiring Aircraft Maintenance Instructors at our Manassas campus to train the next generation of FAA-certified mechanics in our Part 147 program. Whether you spent your career on a flight line, in a hangar, or supporting heavy maintenance operations, you have built skills that are irreplaceable. As an instructor, you will deliver FAA Part 147-aligned aviation maintenance curriculum and provide hands-on instruction in classroom and active hangar environments.
This role is specifically designed for military-trained aviation maintainers with civilian A&P certification who want a stable, mission-oriented next chapter. No prior teaching experience is required; AIM provides a structured 5-day paid instructor training program to help technical professionals successfully transition into the classroom. You will work alongside fellow veterans and former civilian mechanics, teaching students who often include current service members and recent veterans using their GI Bill benefits.
Why Veterans Make Exceptional Aviation Instructors
Military aviation maintenance demands precision, discipline, and the ability to teach others under pressure. Those are the same qualities that define the best A&P instructors. In this role, you will translate your hands-on aircraft maintenance experience into classroom instruction, mentor students preparing for careers as Aviation Maintenance Technicians, and work in a structured, mission-driven environment with clear standards and expectations.
Hiring Process
We encourage veterans of military aviation to bring their experience to the classroom. To apply, please submit your application to join the team at Aviation Institute of Maintenance. Qualified out-of-area candidates may be eligible for relocation assistance.
Equal Opportunity
AIM is a proud equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. We believe that a diverse workforce contributes to the success of our company and are dedicated to fostering a culture of respect, equity, and inclusion.
