While you know that the work of an Aircraft Mechanic can be physically demanding, your interviewer will ideally be looking to hear about the physicality of the work you have performed as a mechanic in previous roles. On top of the frequent standing, walking, carrying, pushing, pulling, and contorting, they'll also be looking to hear that you have no fear of climbing or heights, if hired for this role working on large commercial airplanes. Prior to your interview, it is also wise to read the job posting and/or job description for the role you are interviewing for to see exactly what the physical requirements are for the position so you can speak to them.

"The physical demands of the work as an Aircraft Mechanic are something that I don't take for granted. In my current role, I am on my feet almost all day long and am required to do some very heavy lifting, at times. I am up and down ladders working on planes and helicopters and also on wings and cabins high above the ground. Part of my ability to handle the physical requirements of this line of work is due to me maintaining a physical lifestyle outside of work where I bike, run and kayak on a regular basis to stay in great shape."
