Job description

Job Title: Production Control Specialist III - C Shift: Friday - Sunday 5am - 5pm Location: Cape Canaveral, FL Type: Contract / Onsite Compensation: $71 per hour

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.

Requirements

• 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.
• 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.
