Military DoD SkillBridge Program - Senior Manufacturing Manager - Product Process and Equipment
About The Position
The Military DoD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects Service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences under Dept. of Defense Instruction 1322.29. Separating Service members can be granted up to 180 days of permissive duty to focus solely on training full-time with approved industry partners after unit commander (first O-4/Field Grade commander in chain of command) provides written authorization and approval. GE Aerospace as a SkillBridge partner offers real-world training and work experience in in-demand fields of work while having the opportunity to evaluate the Service member’s suitability for the work. Military DoD SkillBridge participants are not eligible for compensation from GE Aerospace, as they continue to receive military compensation and benefits as active-duty service members. As a Senior Manufacturing Manager at our Madisonville, Kentucky site, you will lead team of manufacturing engineers and process technicians within an assigned business organization to drive continuous improvement and meet or exceed operational performance metrics. You could be a strong military fit for this role if you have led efforts to improve maintenance or production processes in the military, acted as the bridge between engineering and operations, validating procedures on the hangar, depot, line, test cell, or ship, and used data analysis to drive decisions.
