Job Summary

DPP is seeking a Production Control Specialist II/III for an opportunity with our client in the Aerospace industry.

Work Location: Onsite in Cape Canaveral FL
Duration: 12 months
Shift:M-F 7:00AM-5:00PM
Terms: W2 Contract

Position Summary:

This role is a dedicated surge and clean-up function that supports our core team of FTE Production Control Specialists.
This person will attack the backlog debt (aged/idle work orders MRP data integrity kitted parts trapped in stalled orders) 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.

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.

Required Qualifications:

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.

Preferred Qualifications:

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.
