Aircraft Maintenance Planning Engineer Jobs

[Berniece Domnick]

I have had the opportunity to work with and be trained by mechanics that have 30+ years of experience. Through this, I have gained a confidence in my ability to fix planes accurately and efficiently. There's also a great network in TechOps and being here feels like we're a big group of friends and family."

I began my career in 2019 at Delta doing line maintenance in San Diego. I chose this field because my dad worked for Delta as a mechanic, and he would often take me to work with him. I remember being in awe of the planes and how they worked from the first time he took me in. Keeping the flight benefits that I grew up with also was a big factor in why I wanted to work at Delta.

I enjoy that every day is different and there's always something new to learn. You never know if you'll be changing a tire, changing an engine, doing a sheet metal repair or any number of possible jobs.

My advice would be to just jump in. There are tons of positions where you can get started with TechOps, like aircraft support mechanic, logistics or tool room. These will give you a little hands-on experience and can help you decide if going to A&P school is right for you. Everyone here wants to see you succeed and is willing to help you however they can, so just be willing to ask.

To my surprise, Aviation High School curricular program is aircraft maintenance technician (A&P). I gave this some deep thought and figure this is a great opportunity, and it seems interesting. After taking a few flight lessons as a teenager and falling asleep during my lessons, I realized Aviation may be my passion but being an Aircraft Maintenance Technician is my calling.

The Planned Maintenance System Management Information System (PMSMIS) is a web-based application that tracks the status of all new and revised PMS documentation. PMSMIS maintains the listings of what documentation is applicable to ships and shore units that use PMS, distributes documentation to users and reference customers, and tracks Technical Feedback Report (TFBR) status from receipt of the problem until final resolution of the issue.

PMSMIS supports the development of new documentation through the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Process as well as the RCM Waiver Process. Used by commodity specialists at NAVSEALOGCEN, In-Service Engineers (ISEs) at Naval Warfare Centers, contractors developing maintenance and reference customers.

Data from PMSMIS supports NAVSEA in its management of the 3-M system as mandated in OPNAVINST 4790.4 and NAVSEAINST 4790.8 Provides a variety of reports and metrics used by the ships, shore stations, TYCOMS and many other customers to assist in performing PMS and managing the 3-M system. PMSMIS outputs include quarterly control files used for theproduction of the quarterly PMS Force Revisions, data extractions on labor associated with maintenance actions, quarterly summary on Technical Feedback Reports (TFRs), DON-EA compliance, and Federal Information Security Management (FISMA) Act of 2002 compliance and input to PBIS IT data calls.

3-M Planned Maintenance System (PMS) System Scheduler (SKED) software provides the capability to schedule, display and manage planned maintenance events. The system supports reporting of completed maintenance and provides sailors the ability to submit technical feedbacks on maintenance tasks. The system has a direct impact on the ability to maintain ship systems and equipment, thus affecting ships' material condition and Fleet readiness. Users prepare PMS schedules using information from the PMS DVDs distributed during each Force Revision.

Previously the Integrated Class Maintenance Plan (ICMP). This is a web-based application that provides an integrated database of recurring engineered standardized maintenance tasks performed off-ship by industrial and technical assistance organizations. Additionally SMIP supports budget submissions, adherence to technically warranted requirements, captures authorized waivers from required completion dates, and presents a composite view of intermediate through depot-level maintenance requirements.

The application incorporates guidance from NAVSEAINST 4790.8 and functionality identified and directed per Surface Team One Executive Steering Committee and Navy Maintenance policy and directives. SMIP provides documentation of work requirements, input to PBIS IT data calls, and monthly reports.

The Budget Planning System (BPS) calculates budget requirements and prepares POM/PR, capability Plan, and budget submittals. It also provides budget analysts a tool to rationalize data between Navy ERP and Program Budget Information System (PBIS).

BPS consists of three modules designed to automate the NAVSEA processes that produce the OPN Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL) with Initial and NAVSUP WSS cost requirements; SCN Outfitting; SCN Post Delivery Budget requirements.
