Staffing Resource Group, Inc; Florida; Hybrid; USD 48,000 - 83,000; Full time

Job summary

SRG Government Services in Merritt Island, FL seeks a Production Control Specialist to drive backlog reduction and ensure on-time material flow in aerospace production. You will own backlog cleanup, expedite hot jobs, and maintain MRP/ERP data integrity, with shift coverage as needed.

The role requires 2+ years in scheduling/expediting, ERP/MRP experience (SAP/Costpoint), and independent work in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• Minimum 2+ years in schedule management, expediting or backlog cleanup in a manufacturing or production environment.
• Hands-on ERP/MRP experience (SAP, Costpoint or similar).
• Ability to work independently in a high-tempo, high-ambiguity environment.
• Willingness and availability to support off-nominal shifts (B/C/D) as coverage gaps arise.

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.
• Additional duties as assigned.
