Production Supervisor Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a production supervisor in Minnesota?
Most Minnesota employers hire production supervisors who combine hands-on manufacturing experience with some supervisory responsibility, rather than requiring a state-issued license. The typical path starts on the production floor in roles like machine operator or line technician, then advances to team lead before moving into a supervisory position. An associate or bachelor degree in manufacturing technology, industrial management, or operations strengthens your candidacy, and certifications like Six Sigma Green Belt or a HACCP credential are valued in Minnesota's food and medical device sectors.
How much do production supervisors make in Minnesota?
Production supervisors in Minnesota earn a median of about $78,550 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $56,660 for the lowest 10% to over $104,080 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire production supervisors in Minnesota?
Minnesota production supervisor roles are posted by nVent, Metal Craft and Riverside Machine & Engineering, and Kemps and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Minnesota's concentration of food manufacturing, medical device, and industrial equipment companies means openings appear consistently across both large multinationals and regional mid-size producers throughout the state.
Which Minnesota cities have the most production supervisor jobs?
Elk River, Mankato, and Rochester have the most production supervisor openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro drives the bulk of listings because it anchors the state's food processing, medical device, and diversified manufacturing base, while Rochester's concentration of healthcare-adjacent manufacturing and St. Cloud's industrial and packaging facilities add meaningful volume outside the metro.
Are there remote production supervisor jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. About 20% of production supervisor openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that the role is fundamentally floor-based and requires direct oversight of personnel and equipment. The most remote-eligible aspects are administrative duties such as scheduling, reporting, and compliance documentation, which some employers allow to be handled off-site on a partial basis.
How can I get hired as a production supervisor in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is landing a production associate or line technician role at a large Minnesota manufacturer and pursuing an internal promotion. Companies like General Mills, Cargill, and Boston Scientific run structured advancement programs that move high-performing floor employees into team lead and then supervisor roles. Completing a manufacturing technology or operations management certificate at a Minnesota State system school while working on the floor makes the step up faster, and an OSHA 30-hour certification signals leadership readiness to hiring managers before you have the title.
Where can I find and apply to production supervisor jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to production supervisor jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your background, industry focus, and preferred location within Minnesota, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
