VP Aviation Technical Services

VP Aviation Technical Services is an aircraft maintenance staffing and support company in Clearwater, Florida. It has supplied aircraft technicians since 1993. It connects technicians with maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) companies, airlines, OEMs and repair stations. Its placements can be temporary contract work or permanent hires.

Aviation staffing is the company's core service. Its recruiting department focuses on aircraft maintenance programs. Customers can take over the recruiting work or ask VP Aviation to support their own recruiting. Customers can request mechanics through an online form. Job categories include A&P mechanics, structures mechanics, avionics technicians, interior aircraft mechanics, and roles in paint, composites and administration.

VP Aviation also runs mobile response teams for aircraft on ground (AOG) repairs. The teams deploy worldwide for urgent work. The AOG services cover fuselage skin repairs, gear repacks, fuselage frame and stringer repairs, flight control replacement and rigging, and engine component changes. They also cover engine change removal, wing stringer splice repairs and B767 station 955 failsafe repairs.

Special projects are another service. VP Aviation provides technicians for conversions and modifications. Its team can complete a whole project, or join a customer's team for specific phases. The company's site lists work on Boeing 737, 757, 767 and Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft. Examples include 737 cargo conversions, 757 and 767 winglets, Airbus sharklets, 737 rear spar replacements, and CFM56 engine changes.

The company offers three staffing models. Fixed bid plans help customers keep projects on budget. Hourly technicians cover short-term peaks and valleys in workload. Direct placement brings a permanent technician onto the customer's team. The site says most of its technicians have more than 15 years of individual aircraft maintenance experience.

VP Aviation serves commercial, corporate, cargo and defense fleets. Its testimonials come from maintenance managers at MROs, regional airlines, Part 121 operators and Part 145 companies. The website also has a jobs search, a referral plan that lets technicians earn cash, FAQ pages on AOG support, staffing and special projects, a news section and a downloadable capabilities statement.

The company says its goal is to connect skilled technicians with MROs, airlines and repair stations. It describes its approach as honest and transparent with both technicians and customers. The company has been in business since 1993.
