Manufacturing Supervisor Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a manufacturing supervisor in Florida?
Most manufacturing supervisor roles in Florida are reached through a combination of an associate or bachelor's degree in a technical field and hands-on floor experience. Florida does not require a state-issued license for the role itself, but supervisors in food processing must meet Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services standards, and those in medical device manufacturing work under FDA regulatory frameworks. Earning a Lean or Six Sigma certification strengthens candidacy considerably with Florida employers.
How much do manufacturing supervisors make in Florida?
Manufacturing supervisors in Florida earn a median of about $63,950 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $44,140 for the lowest 10% to over $105,400 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire manufacturing supervisors in Florida?
Employers hiring manufacturing supervisors in Florida right now include Collins Aerospace, Nutrition Formulators, and SHL Medical, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's concentration of aerospace, defense, and consumer goods facilities means demand is particularly consistent along the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando.
Which Florida cities have the most manufacturing supervisor jobs?
Melbourne, Miramar, and Fort Lauderdale lead Florida for manufacturing supervisor openings. Tampa and Orlando anchor the I-4 industrial corridor, home to aerospace primes, medical device makers, and large food and beverage operations, while Miami's port-adjacent logistics and pharmaceutical manufacturing base drives demand in the southeast.
Are there remote manufacturing supervisor jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Manufacturing supervision is inherently floor-based, requiring direct oversight of equipment, personnel, and production flow. About 0% of manufacturing supervisor openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically cover planning, scheduling, or vendor coordination functions that can be handled off-site.
How can I get hired as a manufacturing supervisor in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a production team lead or shift coordinator role first, then building toward a supervisory title. Florida employers in food and beverage, such as large citrus and beverage processors in the Lakeland area, and medical device manufacturers around Orlando regularly promote from quality technician, machine operator, and inventory control positions. Completing a Lean Yellow Belt course and obtaining OSHA 30-hour construction or general industry certification gives candidates a concrete edge when applying without a full supervisory record.
