Honored to Employ America's Finest

GE is proud to have more than 11,000 of the best and brightest

the past five years.

Profiles

Rick Kind – USAFE Maintenance Director / Manager, Air Force Programs

Paul Gouthro – Marine Corps Sergeant / T700 Depot Product Support Engineer

“It’s an honor to work on converting T700 engines to the most powerful and durable -701D model, which get to the field quicker than ever before and have a profound impact on our peacekeeping efforts.”

 

Rebecca Boll – USAF Captain / Electronic Combat Officer AWACs

“The real-world education and lessons I received from being in the service have been invaluable in developing a partnership with our Navy customer. We are creating a strategic engine roadmap that helps ensure the safest possible propulsion system for the fleet through its planned retirement.”
