Job summary

System One in Cape Canaveral, FL is seeking a Production Control Specialist II - C for a 6-month to 1-year onsite contract, Friday-Sunday 5am - 5pm. The role focuses on backlog reduction, expediting, and ensuring data integrity within ERP/MRP systems.

Candidates will use SAP or Costpoint, handle off-nominal shifts, and collaborate with the production teams to keep schedule execution on track. Competitive hourly pay ranging from $50 to $58.

Qualifications

• Experience with schedule management, expediting, or backlog/data clean-up in a manufacturing or production environment.
• Hands-on experience with ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Costpoint, or similar).
• Ability to work independently on a defined backlog with minimal ramp-up, in a high-tempo, high-ambiguity environment.
• Willingness and availability to support off-nominal shifts (B/C/D).
• Prior experience specifically doing backlog remediation, data cleanup, or expedite work.

Responsibilities

• Drive down the work-order backlog: dispositioning idle/no-need-date orders, resolving kitted-but-stalled part numbers, and closing out orders.
• Execute targeted expedite efforts on hot jobs — identifying material and kit needs, and blockers across service centers and integrated areas to prevent schedule slip.
• Provide off-nominal shift (B/C/D) coverage support as needed, handling routine escalations and keeping WIP moving when FTE coverage is thin.
• Maintain MRP/ERP data integrity.
• Communicate daily status on backlog burn-down, expedite jobs in flight, and any shift hand-offs to the PC leads and escalation chat.
• Flag constraints or recurring blockers discovered during clean-up work to area leads and PC leadership rather than resolving informally and losing the signal.
• Partner with the FTE PC team and, where needed, carry standing work-center ownership.
• When backlog is clear, this role will support other work centers while sustaining minimal technical debt in assigned work center.
