The County of Santa Barbara's Air Support Unit is accepting applications to fill a full-time Aircraft Mechanic (Helicopter Mechanic) vacancy.
The Santa Barbara County Air Support Unit (ASU) is a joint unit between the Fire Department and Sheriff’s Office. This cohesive partnership allows responses to all hazard incidents. Examples of mission responses include, but are not limited to, wildland firefighting missions (water dropping, crew insertion, and long line), law enforcement flight operations, ocean and swift water rescue, search, medivac, hoisting, mountain and cliff rescue.
This Unit is based in the center of the County at the Santa Ynez Airport. Although ASU is a joint unit, vacancies are attached to either the Santa Barbara County Fire Department (https://sbcfire.com/air-support-unit-2/ ) or the Sheriff’s Office (https://www.sbsheriff.org/command-and-divisions/support-services/air-support-unit/ ).
ASU currently has helicopters ready to respond to any emergency, day or night, rain or shine. Aircraft assigned to the ASU consists of: Sikorsky HH-60L, Bell UH-1H, UH 1N, OH-58 and Cessna 206. Training in all aircraft is not required for applying, but the willingness to train and learn to be proficient on multiple platforms, is highly desirable.
THE POSITION:
Under direction, maintains and repairs aircraft to ensure airworthiness and safe flight operation, and performs other related duties as required.
