You’re Not Just an Employee. You’re an Owner.At GTC, our Ownership For All model means every eligible full-time hire earns an ownership stake from day one. When you help us win, you share in that success.A day in this roleStep onto the floor of a large-scale facility built for heavy naval equipment. Overhead cranes hum above expansive bays as you interpret a blueprint and prep your station. You verify parts against the stock list using calipers, gauges, and micrometers, then lay out hole locations and drill and tap with precision. With a hoist, you bring components into alignment, fastening with bolts, screws, dowels, welds, or rivets. You true up surfaces with chisels, scrapers, files, and a powered hand grinder, confirm tolerances on moving parts using dial indicators and a thickness gauge, and hand-test the assembly before moving on.What success looks likeAssemblies built to spec and standard shop practices.Parts consistently protected and handled safely.Meeting and raising work standards over time.Relentlessly eliminating wasted effort and material.Proactively seeking the next task to keep productivity high.Working safely at all times and complying with safety requirements.Your core responsibilitiesStudy assembly blueprints and specifications manuals to plan work.Verify part conformance to blueprints and stock lists using calipers, gauges, and micrometers.Lay out hole locations; drill and tap as required.Align components by hand or with hoists; fasten via bolts, screws, dowels, welds, or rivets using hand tools.Remove high spots and finish surfaces with chisels, scrapers, files, and powered hand grinders.Check alignment and tolerances of moving parts using dial indicators and thickness gauges.Manually test assembled units for proper operation.Where you’ll workLarge manufacturing environment purpose-built for heavy naval equipment assembly.Overhead cranes rated for multi-ton loads, specialized lifting systems, and wide assembly bays.Regular exposure to hydraulic fluids, industrial lubricants, electrical components, and metal fabrication debris.High noise from heavy machinery, pneumatic tools, and crane activity.Temperature-controlled facility; some heat near large electrical components during testing.Work adheres to strict Navy specifications and military standards, including NAVSEA requirements.May include handling of classified materials.Physical realities of the jobStanding and walking on concrete for 10–12 hour shifts around large equipment.Working at height using scaffolding, elevated platforms, and man-lifts.Lifting and maneuvering 50–75 lb components; team lifts for heavier subassemblies.Extensive climbing, crawling, and operating in tight spaces in and around large generator housings.Manual dexterity for electrical connections, precision bolt torquing, and intricate installs.Strong balance and spatial awareness when working near heavy suspended loads on elevated platforms.Comfort with awkward postures: overhead tasks, tight clearances, and cramped interiors within generator enclosures.Safety above allDemonstrated ability to work safely around heavy machinery and suspended loads exceeding 100,000 pounds.Strict adherence to crane safety protocols and lock-out/tag-out procedures for high-voltage electrical systems.What you bringHigh school diploma or equivalent (required).Proven mechanical aptitude.Must be a US citizen.At least one year of related experience and/or training leveraging entry-level mechanical aptitude.Background in heavy mechanical assembly.How we work togetherClose collaboration with assemblers, material handlers, and quality control.A cooperative, initiative-taking mindset that helps teammates succeed.Technical strengthsMechanical Assembly SkillsPrecision Measurement & InspectionShop Math SkillsBlueprint ReadingEqual Opportunity Employer M/F/D/V*All applicants will be considered for this position based upon experience and knowledge, without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, ancestry, marital, disabled or veteran status.GTC is committed to creating and maintaining a workforce environment that is free from any form of discrimination or harassment.* #J-18808-Ljbffr GTC Manufacturing
