Job summary

Protingent Staffing seeks a Senior Production Control Specialist for a contract role based in Cape Canaveral, FL. The specialist will lead backlog cleanup, drive MRP data integrity, and execute targeted expediting to prevent schedule slips while supporting off-nominal shifts.

The role requires hands-on ERP/MRP experience, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced environment. ITAR considerations and shift flexibility apply.

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) — comfortable working directly in the data, not just reading dashboards.
• 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) 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
