What is maintenance fitter?

[jnignon]

Dont know if it was mentioned before but I'm from the the other side of the pond and i see a lot of employers in the UK looking for maintenance fitters and i just want to know what exactly is a fitter. Also, can I work as a fitter with a FAA A/P license with experience?

A fitter is basically an unlicenced mechanic.

[Mr.Brown]

Yes an unlicenced mechanic that is time served or equivalent. You would normally have to provide proof of training and experience.

Usually it's aircraft or airframe/engine/electrical fitters that are advertised.
If it just says maintenance fitters it could be for ground equipment or airport services.
