Build the Best.

At GSC Power-Division, we don't just manufacture automotive parts—we engineer and build some of the highest-quality performance camshafts and valvetrain 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.

• Takes ownership and follows through.
• Has a positive, get-it-done attitude.
• Leads by example.
• Takes pride in producing exceptional work.
• Enjoys solving problems and improving processes.
