Join ASC Engineered Solutions as our Finance Director of Operations — a strategic, hands-on leadership role driving financial excellence across our Columbia, PA manufacturing operations.
If you're a seasoned finance executive with a passion for operational impact, cost transformation, and data-driven decision-making, this is your opportunity to shape the future of a dynamic, evolving business.

At ASC Engineered Solutions, your impact will be felt — on the shop floor, in the boardroom, and across the enterprise.
