Construction Supervisor Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction supervisor in Tennessee?
Tennessee does not require a state-issued license specifically for construction supervisors, but most employers expect candidates to hold an OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification and a high school diploma or associate degree in construction management or a related field. Advancing to a supervisory role typically follows hands-on field experience as a carpenter, laborer, or foreman. Many Tennessee employers also value completion of an apprenticeship through a local Associated Builders and Contractors Tennessee chapter.
How much do construction supervisors make in Tennessee?
Construction supervisors in Tennessee earn a median of about $74,470 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,000 for the lowest 10% to over $108,320 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire construction supervisors in Tennessee?
Employers hiring construction supervisors in Tennessee right now include S&ME, BWX Technologies, and ServiceMaster by Cornerstone, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Tennessee's sustained commercial development and infrastructure investment mean that both regional contractors and national firms with Tennessee operations maintain ongoing supervisor pipelines throughout the year.
Which Tennessee cities have the most construction supervisor jobs?
Nashville, Chattanooga, and Erwin account for the largest share of construction supervisor openings in Tennessee. Nashville's rapid commercial and multifamily development drives the bulk of demand, while Memphis generates consistent openings through industrial and logistics construction tied to its distribution corridor, and Knoxville sees steady activity from healthcare campus expansion and University of Tennessee-area development.
Are there remote construction supervisor jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of construction supervisor openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the fundamentally on-site nature of the role. The portions of the job most compatible with remote work include project documentation, scheduling, and subcontractor coordination rather than direct field supervision.
How can I get hired as a construction supervisor in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting in a field laborer, carpenter, or trades assistant role with a Tennessee general contractor and working toward a foreman position. Large Tennessee employers such as Brasfield and Gorrie and regional commercial builders regularly hire entry-level site personnel into structured field development tracks. Completing an apprenticeship through the Associated Builders and Contractors Tennessee chapter, or earning an OSHA 10-Hour certification, gives candidates a measurable edge when applying for their first supervisory opportunity.
Where can I find and apply to construction supervisor jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to construction supervisor jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
