We're hiring year-round.
We're a Part 145 repair station in Cleburne. We only work on Hawkers, Citations, and Challengers, and we're hiring across the floor and the office. If those three airframes are where you've put your reps, send us a resume below.
What it's like here.
Tristan Noe and Travis Roberson started PPA in 2022. They'd both spent years on bigger shop floors and had a pretty long list of things they wanted to do differently. The shop is basically that list.
Both of them are still on the floor every day. If you have a scope question they're who you ask, and if something changes on the work order they're the ones calling the customer. The records get treated like part of the aircraft, because anyone who's bought a used jet knows they basically are.
Most of what we hire for isn't on a resume. It's whether you care about the work, whether you'll tell us straight when something doesn't look right, and whether you actually want to specialize on three airframes for a while instead of jumping around.
Three airframes, that's it
Repair Station PLPR528E. Hawkers, Citations, Challengers. Nobody's bouncing to a King Air on Monday and a Gulfstream on Friday.
Day shift, no rotation
Monday through Friday, day shift. AOG calls and heavy events bring overtime now and then, but the regular schedule doesn't move around on you.
Records are part of the work
We don't treat paperwork like something that happens after the wrench goes down. It's part of what the customer is paying for, and we write it that way.
Cleburne, not Addison
Thirty minutes from DFW, with a cost of living that's not Addison's. The math works for techs as much as it does for customers.
Send a Resume.
Tell us where you sit and attach your Resume. A quick note about the airframe you've worked most goes a long way. We usually get back to people in a couple of business days.
We built the shop we wanted to work at, back when we were the ones taking those customer calls. That hasn't changed. It's what we look for in every hire too.
