Job description

Job Title - Production Control Specialist II/III – A

Location: Cape Canaveral, FL 32920

Duration: 1 year to start with

Pay: $50.00/HR

Pre-screen Questions

1. Which ERP/MRP or work order management systems have you worked in at a transaction level.
2. Describe a backlog you cleared to a target. What counted as "done," and how did you prevent the backlog from building up again?
3. Are you willing to work off-nominal shifts and/or overtime when required?

Note: We need aerospace background.

About the Role:

Client’s Production Control team is scaling to meet an increase in work order volume to support New Glenn rate production. This role is a dedicated surge and clean-up function that supports our core team of FTE Production Control Specialists. This person will attack the backlog debt (aged/idle work orders, MRP data integrity, kitted parts trapped in stalled orders), own day-to-day work-center coverage where required, and provide expedite muscle and off-nominal shift support so our FTE PCs can stay focused on schedule execution. If you like solving a large, messy backlog with clear metrics and a defined end date, this is built for that. 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 Qualifications -Passion for our mission: millions of people living and working in space. -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. Desired -Prior experience specifically doing backlog remediation, data cleanup, or expedite work (not just steady-state scheduling). -Familiarity with MS Office, including MS Project. -Familiarity with Jira/ITS and AI tools -Experience in both development and production manufacturing environments. -Aerospace or automotive production experience a plus.
