Job summary

Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract Senior Production Control Specialist with our client located in Cape Canaveral, FL. This role scales the Production Control team to handle higher work-order volumes and focuses on backlog debt reduction and data integrity.

The position requires hands-on ERP/MRP experience (SAP/Costpoint), the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment, and willingness to cover off-nominal shifts. Competitive pay and benefits are offered.

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
