Production Supervisor Jobs in Kansas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a production supervisor in Kansas?
Most production supervisor roles in Kansas require a combination of floor experience and a relevant degree, though no state-issued license is required for the role itself. Employers in food processing and aviation manufacturing typically want candidates with an associate or bachelor's degree in industrial technology, manufacturing, or operations management, plus hands-on line experience. Earning a Lean Six Sigma certification through an accredited Kansas technical college strengthens an application considerably.
How much do production supervisors make in Kansas?
Production supervisors in Kansas earn a median of about $74,480 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,290 for the lowest 10% to over $104,450 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire production supervisors in Kansas?
Employers hiring production supervisors in Kansas right now include Panasonic, Benchmark Government Solutions, and Tyson Foods Incorporated, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Kansas's deep roots in aviation, meat processing, and grain milling mean large manufacturers and food producers account for the majority of consistent openings across the state.
Which Kansas cities have the most production supervisor jobs?
De Soto, Wichita, and Kansas City have the most production supervisor openings in Kansas. Wichita leads because of its dense aerospace and aviation manufacturing base, while Kansas City draws volume from large food processing and distribution operations, and Salina contributes openings through its established agricultural processing and packaging facilities.
Are there remote production supervisor jobs in Kansas?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of production supervisor openings tied to Kansas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how hands-on floor oversight makes full remote work uncommon in this role. The portions most likely to allow off-site flexibility are administrative reporting, scheduling, and supply chain coordination tasks rather than direct line supervision.
How can I get hired as a production supervisor in Kansas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a team lead or shift lead role on a production floor, then building toward a supervisor title. Large Kansas food processors and manufacturers like Cargill and Tyson Foods regularly hire production associates and line leads who can advance internally. Completing an associate degree in manufacturing technology at a Kansas community college and earning a forklift or OSHA 10 certification significantly improves candidacy for a first supervisory posting.
Where can I find and apply to production supervisor jobs in Kansas?
You can find and apply to production supervisor jobs in Kansas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Kansas openings updated regularly. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level and target industry, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
