Production Supervisor Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a production supervisor in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license to work as a production supervisor, so the path runs through experience and education rather than a licensing board. Most employers expect a combination of a bachelor's degree in manufacturing, engineering, or operations management and direct floor experience, often built up through roles as a production associate, team lead, or quality technician. Completing a lean manufacturing or Six Sigma certification strengthens a candidacy significantly, particularly for the medical device and defense sectors that dominate the Massachusetts market.
How much do production supervisors make in Massachusetts?
Production supervisors in Massachusetts earn a median of about $79,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $52,530 for the lowest 10% to over $114,800 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire production supervisors in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring production supervisors in Massachusetts right now include Coghlin Companies, Jobot, and UniFirst, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense contractors, medical device manufacturers, and specialty food producers means openings appear consistently across both large anchor employers and mid-size contract manufacturers throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most production supervisor jobs?
Devens, Woburn, and Franklin account for the largest share of production supervisor openings in Massachusetts. Greater Boston and the surrounding Route 128 corridor drive the highest volume, anchored by major defense, biotech, and medical device employers, while Worcester and Springfield reflect the state's inland manufacturing base in food processing, plastics, and industrial equipment, pulling in steady openings outside the core metro.
Are there remote production supervisor jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. About 17% of production supervisor openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which reflects how hands-on the role is by nature. The portions most likely to shift to remote or hybrid arrangements are administrative duties such as scheduling, reporting, and compliance documentation rather than direct floor oversight, which requires on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a production supervisor in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a supervisory role from a production associate, quality inspector, or shift lead position within the same facility. Large Massachusetts manufacturers such as defense contractors along Route 128 and medical device companies in the Greater Boston area regularly promote internally, and some run formal development programs for high-performing floor employees. Earning an OSHA 10 certification and completing a lean manufacturing fundamentals course before applying gives a candidate a concrete edge and demonstrates readiness for the supervisory step.
Where can I find and apply to production supervisor jobs in Massachusetts?
