A massive auto plant in your backyard, hiring assembly and production workers for jobs that pay well and train you up.
A landmark Arlington employer
GM Arlington Assembly has built more than 12 million vehicles over its history, and today it is the exclusive home of GM's premium large SUVs. A plant that produces vehicles at that scale needs a big, steady workforce, which is why it has anchored Arlington's economy for decades.
The jobs and the pay
The plant hires across team-member assembly and production roles, plus skilled trades, quality, and supply-chain positions. GM also runs full-time temporary openings, including summer roles, and seeks group leaders in production, quality, and supply chain. Many production jobs train on the job, and auto manufacturing has long been a path to a solid middle-class income without a four-year degree.
Why auto manufacturing is a smart bet
Assembly work rewards reliability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn over a long resume. Pay is competitive, benefits are typically strong, and a foot in the door at a plant like this can turn into a long career or a path into the skilled trades. For Mid-Cities workers, it is one of the best blue-collar opportunities around.
