Summary

The Ash Group is hiring a Production Control Specialist II/III (24632) for our client, an innovative aerospace company developing reliable and cost-effective technologies for commercial spaceflight. This is a 12-month contract position working in Cape Canaveral, FL (Onsite). We are offering a pay rate up to $64/hr W2 based on skill set.

• Compensation: Up to $64/hr W2
• Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, and direct primary care benefits. After six months of employment, enjoy a 4% matched 401(k) plan with immediate 100% vesting.
• Duration: 12-month contract
• Location: Cape Canaveral, FL (Onsite)

What You’ll Be Doing

• 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

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with schedule management, expediting, or backlog/data clean-up in a manufacturing or production environment is required
• 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.
• Must be able to work Monday - Friday 7 AM - 5 PM along with off-nominal shifts and/or overtime when required
