Airframe And Powerplant Mechanic

Who We Are:

EpicSky is more than a flight school - we are a family! Our school was founded by flight instructors that were tired of how flight training was done and who wanted to change the industry all by creating a school that allows everyone -students, mechanics, and instructors- to flourish and have their voices heard.

We started by creating a philosophical culture and environment that focuses on the people. We ensure that our team continually hone their skills to be the World-Class people that they strive to be not by operating alone, but by operating as a collective team.

We then combined our philosophy with the newest aircraft, newest G1000 NXi avionics, latest full-motion flight simulators, and the best possible compensation package in the industry combined with a fully supportive team to ensure that you have everything you need to be the best you can be both with us and at home!

If you have ever been saddled with thoughts that "this just must just be how every flight school is", then come work with us in one of the most beautiful cities in the US to help us change how the paradigm of what flight training has become.

Where We Are:

We are located in Des Moines, IA, a city rated as one of the country's Top 10 most beautiful and safest cities to live in! Our city offers everything from top restaurants, weekly festivals, tons of outdoor activities and sport teams while also offering direct affordable flights to almost every major city in the US.

Des Moines is not only a dynamic and beautiful city, but is one of the most affordable places to live in the U.S. with a stylish 800sft 1-bedroom downtown loft at $800 per month. Not only will you be working with a great team here at EpicSky but you can also live in a beautiful city! What's not to love?!!
