Production Control Specialist 12+ month contract Monday-Friday 7am-5pm

On-site, Cape Canaveral, FL Pay:

3-5 years $35-45/hr 5-10 years plus $ 45-55/hr This role is a dedicated surge and clean-up function that supports our core team of Production Control Specialists. This person will attack the backlog work, 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 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.
