Job Description

At GSC Power-Division, we don't just manufacture automotive parts—we engineer and build some of the highest-quality performance camshafts and valve train components in the world. Our products power championship-winning race cars and high-performance street cars across the globe.

We're looking for a Manufacturing Manager who wants to do more than manage production. We're looking for someone who is passionate about refining processes, increasing efficiency, and helping one of the industry's leading manufacturers continue to raise the bar.

Our philosophy is simple: never stop improving. We continually invest in better equipment, smarter processes, automation, and the development of our people. If you're driven by solving problems, improving efficiency, and finding better ways to manufacture world-class products, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact here.

You'll work in a modern, technology-driven manufacturing facility that includes:

• CNC multitasking turning centers with automated bar feeders and part handling
• High-speed CBN camshaft grinding systems
• CNC turning, milling, and grinding centers
• Dedicated manufacturing cells designed for high-precision production
• Advanced inspection and metrology equipment

We're continually investing in new technology, automation, and manufacturing processes to improve productivity, quality, and consistency. We're looking for someone who shares that mindset and wants to help drive the next generation of manufacturing excellence at GSC.

As our Manufacturing Manager, you’ll lead day-to-day manufacturing operations while helping improve how we build our products. You’ll work closely with engineering and production to increase efficiency, improve quality, develop manufacturing processes, and build a stronger team.

This is a hands-on leadership position. We aren't looking for someone to sit behind a desk—we're looking for someone who enjoys being on the shop floor, leading by example, solving problems, and developing people.

• Support new product launches from engineering into production.
• Identify and implement automation opportunities throughout the manufacturing process.
• Drive continuous improvement in quality, efficiency, throughput, and manufacturing capability.
• Work with management to meet production, quality, and delivery objectives.

The right attitude, it's just as important as experience.

• Takes ownership and follows through.
• Has a positive, get-it-done attitude.
