If you like solving a large, messy backlog with clear metrics and a defined end date, this is built for that.
Job 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 integrityÂ
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
