JOB TITLE: Sr. Production Control Specialist
LOCATION: Onsite in Cape Canaveral, FL
DURATION: 12 months
RATE RANGE: $44-$73/hr
SHIFT A: Monday - Friday 7 AM - 5 PM
Position Summary: Our client's Production Control team is scaling to meet an increase in work order volume to support New Glenn rate production. 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. 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
- 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.
BENEFITS SUMMARY: Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate or annual salary only, unless otherwise stated. In addition to base compensation, full-time roles are eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, Commuter and 401K benefits with company matching.

Entry Level Production Control Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level production control manager job?
Focus on building practical experience through internships, co-ops, or coursework in inventory management, production scheduling, or supply chain operations. Employers hiring at this level look for familiarity with ERP systems, attention to detail, and an ability to coordinate across teams. Highlighting any hands-on projects, even academic ones, gives you a concrete edge over candidates with only a generic resume.
Which companies hire entry level production control managers?
Companies hiring entry level production control managers right now include Ursus, Hyundai Motor Company, and DENSO, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from manufacturers, defense contractors, and logistics-intensive operations that rely on structured production workflows and need junior staff to support scheduling and inventory teams.
Are there remote entry level production control manager jobs?
Yes, though most roles at this level are on-site due to the hands-on nature of production environments. About 0% of entry level production control manager openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically focus on coordination, reporting, or data management rather than floor-level oversight.
Are these new grad production control manager jobs?
Yes, many of the listings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with little or no professional experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or co-ops as qualifying background, or considers a strong academic project in lieu of full-time work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level production control managers?
Entry Level production control manager roles concentrate in Electronics & Hardware, Energy, and Automotive, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they run high-volume, schedule-dependent operations that depend on junior staff to support inventory tracking, production planning, and materials coordination.
