Boeing schedules Port San Antonio hiring event for aircraft mechanics and engineering roles as local demand rises
Hiring event targets maintenance and engineering roles tied to Boeing’s San Antonio aircraft programs
Boeing is planning a hiring event in San Antonio focused on aircraft maintenance and related engineering positions, a move that comes as the company continues to expand work at its Port San Antonio operations. The recruiting push is aimed at a range of hands-on mechanic specialties as well as multiple engineering disciplines, reflecting the breadth of maintenance, repair and modification activity carried out at the site.
The event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Workforce Solutions Alamo Career Center, located at 638 Davy Crockett Road, Suite 160. The format is designed to be transactional: job seekers are asked to bring resumes for review by hiring staff, with the possibility of on-site interviews and contingent offers for candidates who meet requirements.
Positions in focus and what applicants can expect
Boeing’s posted list of roles for the event spans both production-floor and technical office functions. The company has indicated it is recruiting for:
- General mechanics
- Electrical mechanics
- Avionics mechanics
- Structures aircraft mechanics
- Production/manufacturing/liaison engineers
- Structural/stress engineers
- Electrical engineers
- Interior and payloads engineers
The event is open to interested applicants, and candidates are encouraged to apply for open roles in advance as part of the screening process. Same-day interviews are positioned as a key feature, accelerating the timeline between application, initial screening and next-step consideration.
Why Port San Antonio remains central to Boeing’s maintenance footprint
Boeing’s San Antonio operations are based at Kelly Field under a lease with Port San Antonio, where the company runs a large-scale maintenance, repair and overhaul complex that supports both military and commercial aviation work. The site includes extensive enclosed industrial space and hangars anchored by Building 375, widely known in local aviation circles for its scale and history as a landmark hangar facility.
Work performed in San Antonio has historically included sustainment and modification activity for major aircraft programs, and the location has been positioned as a long-term workforce hub for aerospace trades in South Texas. The presence of a dedicated career center on the Tech Port campus has also made the Port a focal point for regional hiring and training efforts connected to aerospace and advanced manufacturing.
Applicants attending the event are expected to arrive prepared with resumes and be ready for screening conversations that may lead directly to interviews.
Local workforce pipeline and next steps
For job seekers, the hiring event offers a direct entry point into aerospace maintenance hiring processes that can otherwise move slowly. For the region, it underscores continued demand for mechanics and engineering talent tied to aircraft modernization and sustainment work concentrated at Port San Antonio.
Boeing has advised interested candidates to review available openings ahead of time and come prepared for same-day evaluation during the event window.
