Salary Range: $23.78 To $28.26 Hourly

The Production Expeditor III is a senior production-control resource responsible for maintaining accurate visibility and execution of assigned manufacturing orders from release through completion and shipment. This role independently manages a complex, high-mix production queue, identifies risks before customer commitments are missed, coordinates recovery actions across departments, and provides reliable updates to Production, Planning, Sales, Quality, Engineering, and leadership.

About RCC: Rubbercraft is a trusted leader in engineered elastomer solutions serving aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Our team designs and manufactures precision-molded seals, gaskets, and custom rubber components that perform in the most demanding environments. We take pride in craftsmanship, collaboration, and a culture built on innovation and reliability.

• Support the Company Mission, Vision, and Values and promote a positive customer experience.
• Independently manage and maintain visibility of a large portfolio of active manufacturing orders, including due dates, quantities, routing status, blockers, projected completion dates, and recovery actions.
• Establish daily priorities using customer commitments, past-due status, shortage risk, quality holds, tooling availability, capacity, and production readiness.
• Monitor orders through the production floor and verify that system status, planner boards, trackers, and actual shop-floor conditions agree.
• Identify late or at-risk orders early; clearly communicate the issue, business impact, responsible owner, required action, and recovery date.
• Coordinate with department leads, supervisors, planners, material control, Engineering, Quality, Tooling, Purchasing, Shipping, Sales, and Value Stream leadership to remove blockers and recover schedule performance.
• Follow up persistently and professionally on open actions, escalating when commitments are not met or when authority is required.
• Prepare accurate daily and periodic order-status updates, including past dues, recovery plans, shipment risk, capacity constraints, and significant changes to projected completion dates.
• Use Great Plains/ERP, SSRS reports, MS Planner, CPT, Excel, and other approved systems to research orders and maintain accurate comments, dates, quantities, and status information.
• Review routings, bills of material, work-order data, drawings, specifications, and customer requirements sufficiently to identify missing information or inconsistencies and route them to the correct owner.
• Support new product, first-article, engineering-change, and special-project execution by maintaining milestones and preventing NPI work from disappearing into the normal queue.
• Assist with capacity and constraint analysis and recommend practical solutions such as priority changes, alternate resources, material escalation, tooling support, or schedule resequencing.
• Train, coach, and provide day-to-day guidance to Expeditor I/II employees on queue control, order research, approved update formats, follow-up expectations, and escalation practices.
• Help maintain and improve expediting standard work, trackers, visual-management tools, and handoff practices; identify recurring causes of schedule misses and recommend countermeasures.
• Protect confidential, proprietary, export-controlled, and customer information and follow all applicable AS9100, ITAR, safety, quality, and documentation requirements.
• Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.

Level III Success Expectations

• Can run the assigned queue with limited direction and provide a reliable view of what is due, blocked, at risk, and recovering.
• Communicates bad news early and brings a proposed next step—not only a problem statement.
• Demonstrates sound judgment when multiple customers, value streams, departments, or urgent jobs compete for the same resources.
• Closes the loop on commitments and does not rely on repeated reminders to maintain accurate status.
• Is trusted by production and leadership because updates are timely, specific, and grounded in verified information.
• Raises the capability of the expediting team through coaching, standard work, and practical process improvement.

Qualifications and Experience

• High school diploma or GED equivalent required; additional education in business, supply chain, manufacturing, or a related field is preferred.
• 4–6 years of progressive experience in production expediting, scheduling, planning, materials, manufacturing, or supply chain; equivalent demonstrated experience may be considered.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and shifting deadlines in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing routings; Great Plains, SSRS, MS Planner, CPT, and advanced Excel experience preferred.
• Ability to interpret bills of material, routings, work orders, drawings, specifications, and production-status information.
• Strong written and verbal communication, follow-through, problem solving, organization, and influence-without-authority skills.
• Demonstrated ability to coach or train others and to hold cross-functional partners accountable respectfully and professionally.
• Aerospace/defense manufacturing experience and APICS/CPIM or CPSM certification are preferred.

Training Requirements

On-the-job training will be provided for applicable procedures, work instructions, systems, and department processes. Required recurring training includes applicable FOD, safety, documentation control, export-control/ITAR, quality-system, and other company-assigned topics.
