At this time, candidates are not required to have a high school diploma or GED to obtain an hourly job with General Motors.

General Motors sometimes has multiple facilities in a relatively small geographic region. If you are interested in working at a facility that is within close proximity to other General Motors facilities, your application will be valid for ALL facilities within that region. You will not be able to apply to just one facility within that region. Please visit Locations to learn more.

Applications are accepted based on General Motors’ hiring needs. If you do not see the position or facility/region to which you’d like to apply, it means we are not currently accepting applications for that position or facility/region. Feel free to check back often, as the site will be updated as hiring needs change.

As a reminder, some facilities are included as part of a larger geographic region (e.g. the Grand Rapids Components plant is included within the Greater Lansing Region). Check out our Locations to see if you are able to apply to the specific facility in which you’re interested, or if it is included within a larger region.

Your shift will be assigned based on General Motors’ needs. Please note that you may be assigned to ANY shift.

You may have only ONE (1) application on file at a time. If you want to apply for a new position, you will need to withdraw your current application.
