OrDie Driven by this mindset, GPC has grown from 200 to more than 2,000 employees in just five years, expanding from one manufacturing facility to four locations across the Milwaukee area, including our new 500,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in West Milwaukee.

We design and manufacture the critical infrastructure that surrounds and supports power generation.

But what sets GPC apart isn't just what we build - it's how we work.

We move fast. We make decisions. We solve problems. We challenge ourselves to continuously improve, raise the bar and deliver quality work on time.

We look for ways to remove unnecessary complexity and make work easier for our customers, our partners and each other.

And through it all, we protect our people, our workplaces and the reputation we've built.

GPC isn't a traditional corporate environment - and we don't want to be.

We expect people to take ownership, speak up, make decisions and get things done.

As GPC continues to grow, our people have opportunities to take on significant responsibility, solve bigger problems and make a visible impact on the business.

If you're energized by growth, comfortable with change, willing to roll up your sleeves and want to help build what's next in power generation, GPC is a place where you can make an impact.
