The JOB 5 first flew in 1958. The company decided to build a slightly larger three-seat production version, the JOB 15. The JOB 15 had a composite construction and first flew in 1960 with a 135 hp (101 kW) Avco Avco Lycoming O-290-D2B engine. Three aircraft were built before the a more powerful version, the JOB 15-150, was built with a 150 hp (112 kW) Avco Lycoming O-320-A2B engine. After 11 15-150s had been built an improved version the JOB 15-150/2 was introduced and ten were built before production ended in the late 1960s.
