General Tool Company | Manufacturing | Full-Time

At GTC, we don’t just make things — we make things happen. We’re a fast-moving, precision-focused manufacturing company where every team member plays a critical role in delivering excellence. We’re looking for a sharp, detail-obsessed Program Coordinator who thrives at the intersection of operations, communication, and execution. If you love bringing order to complexity and keeping teams locked in, read on.

We believe that everyone who helps build this company should share in its success. That’s why we created Ownership For All — giving every eligible full-time employee an ownership stake in the business. From day one, you’re not just joining a team — you’re becoming an owner. At GTC, your wins aren’t just good for the company. They’re good for you.

What You’ll Own

You’ll be the operational backbone of our program team — the person who makes sure nothing slips through the cracks and everyone has what they need to succeed.

• Keep materials moving — manage job router releases with precision to keep production sequences on track
• Verify material certifications and maintain heat lot tracking documentation before parts hit the floor
• Spot and communicate shortages or errors in raw materials and purchased items before they become problems
• Partner with Production Control Coordinators to ensure seamless, on-time part and material flow
• Walk the plant daily — assess, update, and own project status tools and reports
• Monitor and report on production goals set by the program team
• Represent the program team in cross-departmental meetings and keep shared resources aligned
• Proactively flag anything that could disrupt production — and bring solutions, not just problems
• Review routers at close-out to confirm all documentation meets contract requirements
• Ensure purchased materials and outside services align with shop schedules and delivery commitments
• Step up as project lead on specifically assigned projects when called upon

What You Bring to the Table

You’re the kind of person who spots the gap before it becomes a problem. You communicate clearly, move fast, and don’t need to be reminded twice.

• High school diploma or GED required; associate degree or higher in a technical, business, or project management field is a bonus
• 3+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment doing similar work
• 3+ years in a defense, aerospace, or other highly regulated industry — big plus
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel; working knowledge of PowerPoint and Project
• Experience with ERP or MRP systems is a real advantage
• Exceptional communicator — written and verbal — with the interpersonal skills to match
• Collaborative team player who also knows how to self-direct
• Strong organizational instincts and time management that others rely on
• Adaptable by nature — you can pivot when priorities shift without losing momentum

Why GTC?

• Ownership For All — you’re a stakeholder from day one
• Work that matters — we manufacture products for some of the most demanding industries in the world
• A team that’s invested in your growth, not just your output
• A culture built on precision, trust, and getting things done
