See full pay breakdown →Staffing agencies typically charge contractors 20–35% on top of your rate — and you never see that money. A contractor paying $90/hr through an agency? The mechanic often sees $65. On AeroRobust, what the contractor posts is what you earn.

If you've ever been a mechanic trying to find contract work, you know the struggle — scattered job boards, recruiters who don't understand the trade, and weeks of waiting just to hear back.
AeroRobust was built from the ground up by someone who has lived that experience. A site built by someone who actually turns wrenches, respects your credentials, and connects you directly with the contractors who need your skills — no middlemen, no surprises.
AeroRobust was built by an actual FAA certified A&P mechanic who spent years dealing with staffing agencies that didn't understand the difference between a B737 and a B767 — and recruiters taking 30% cuts before mechanics ever saw a dime.
That experience led to one simple idea: build the platform that mechanics actually deserve. One that speaks the language of the trade, respects FAA credentials, and cuts out every single middleman between a mechanic and their next contract.
Whether you're just earning your A&P or you've got 20 years under your belt — AeroRobust meets you where you are and gets you where you want to go.
