System One; Town of Florida (NY); On-site; USD 110,000 - 118,000; Full time

Job summary

System One is seeking a Sr. Production Control Specialist - A in Cape Canaveral, FL to manage backlog and drive schedule execution on a 6‑ to 12‑month onsite contract. The role focuses on reducing idle work orders, expediting hot jobs, and maintaining data integrity in ERP/MRP environments.

You will work with SAP/Costpoint and other tools, support off-nominal shifts, and collaborate with the FTE PC team to keep WIP moving and ensure on-time delivery.

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 in a high-tempo environment.

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.
• 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.
