Location: Denver, NC 28037
Pay: $165,000 – $175,000/year
Job Type: Full Time
Experience: 10+ years
Machines: Automated 5-axis, mill-turn, wire EDM
Why this job is worth considering
This is a full P&L General Manager role over a precision CNC machining operation that supplies complex, close-tolerance components for space, aerospace and defense customers. The site runs 3 to 5-axis machining, mill-turn equipment and wire EDM, with a fair amount of automation already in place and more planned. Whoever takes this on will have real influence over how the facility scales — not just maintaining what's already running — and will work alongside a broader group of sister operating companies rather than in isolation.
What you'll be doing
Own the site's P&L, annual operating plan, and financial forecast
Lead manufacturing, engineering, quality and administration across the full site
Maximize productive use of the automated 5-axis, mill-turn and wire EDM equipment, including unattended and lights-out production
Personally ensure quotations accurately reflect technical risk, capacity and profitability — accurate quoting is a key responsibility of this role
Maintain AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR compliance across every program
Serve as the senior escalation point for key customers and partner with the commercial team on new business and diversification
Build out the site's leadership bench and technical depth for future growth
What we're looking for
Required
Bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, operations, business or a related field; substantial directly relevant leadership experience may be considered in lieu of a degree
10+ years of progressively responsible manufacturing experience, including 5+ years of senior leadership responsibility in a machining, aerospace, defense or similar technical manufacturing environment
Demonstrated P&L responsibility for a plant, business unit or operating company
Working knowledge of manufacturing financials — revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, labor utilization, overhead absorption, working capital and capital investment
Experience leading multidisciplinary functions: operations, engineering, quality, production planning, supply chain and customer service
Strong customer-management, negotiation and organizational-development skills
Preferred
Direct experience leading a precision CNC machining operation serving space, aerospace or defense customers
Understanding of simultaneous 5-axis machining, mill-turn, wire EDM, automation, pallet systems and unattended production
Experience machining titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, aluminum and other aerospace materials
Familiarity with AS9100D, ISO 9001, ITAR, CMMC and NIST SP 800-171
Experience with new-product introduction, first-article inspection, program transfers and production scaling
Experience within a private-equity-backed or multi-site manufacturing organization
Lean, Six Sigma or comparable continuous-improvement training; MBA or advanced technical/business degree
Pay, benefits and schedule
$165,000–$175,000 per year, based on experience. Full-time, on-site leadership role.
