Job description

General Manager — Driveline ManufacturingLocation: Tampa Bay area, FLBase: $125,000–$150,000 + performance bonus
The CompanyWe're a growing driveline manufacturing company, driveshafts, precision machining, and performance driveline components, owned and run by hands-on operators. This is a well-established Florida location with a strong reputation, loyal customers, and a team who knows how to build a great product.
Our core values are Attitude, Pride, and Service. Attitude means you show up ready to solve the problem in front of you. Pride means the part that leaves the building is one you'd put in your own truck. Service means the customer gets a straight answer, on time, every time. We hire and fire against those three things.
The JobYou will run this location, the schedule, the people, the quality, the customers, and the P&L.
On a small team that also means running a machine when someone calls off, chasing a late shipment yourself, and taking the call from the customer who's unhappy. If "that's not my job" is in your vocabulary, this isn't your job.
You'll own:People — hire, train, develop, and hold accountable, including the hard conversationsProduction — scheduling, throughput, on-time delivery, shop floor disciplineQuality — these parts go into vehicles at speed; there's no failure rate we shrug atCustomers — you're the face of this location and you handle escalations personallyThe number — site P&L: revenue, margin, labor, scrap, inventoryThe system — we run a proven operating playbook at headquarters. Your first year is largely about implementing it here without breaking what already works.
TrainingUp to two months at our Midwest headquarters learning our products, processes, and standards alongside ownership. Company-provided housing and stipend. Then you relocate and run the site.
