Production Supervisor Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a production supervisor in Virginia?
Most production supervisor roles in Virginia require a combination of hands-on manufacturing experience and a relevant degree, typically in industrial technology, operations management, or a related field. Virginia does not issue a state license specific to this role, so employers focus on demonstrated floor leadership and technical knowledge. Completing a lean manufacturing or Six Sigma certification strengthens a candidate's profile, and many Virginia manufacturers promote experienced operators who show leadership ability into supervisory positions.
How much do production supervisors make in Virginia?
Production supervisors in Virginia earn a median of about $74,150 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,210 for the lowest 10% to over $108,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire production supervisors in Virginia?
Employers hiring production supervisors in Virginia right now include Dover Food Retail, Perdue, and Howmet Aerospace, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Virginia's mix of defense contractors, food processors, and pharmaceutical manufacturers means openings appear across a wide range of production environments and shift structures.
Which Virginia cities have the most production supervisor jobs?
Richmond, Hampton, and Chesapeake have the most production supervisor openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's concentration of defense and aerospace manufacturers, Richmond's food processing and packaging industry, and Hampton Roads' shipbuilding and industrial sector drive the bulk of listings, though mid-size markets like Roanoke and Lynchburg also see consistent openings tied to regional manufacturing plants.
Are there remote production supervisor jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're rare. Production supervisor work is fundamentally hands-on, requiring a physical presence on the plant floor to manage shift teams, monitor output, and respond to equipment or quality issues. About 7% of production supervisor openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve corporate-level production planning or multi-site oversight rather than direct floor supervision.
How can I get hired as a production supervisor in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a production associate or team lead role at a large Virginia manufacturer and building floor-level credibility before stepping into a supervisory title. Employers like Smithfield Foods, Northrop Grumman, and Nestlé periodically hire for structured operator and technician programs that expose candidates to supervisory workflows. Earning a Six Sigma White or Yellow Belt certification before applying signals readiness for a leadership track even without a formal supervisory title on your resume.
Where can I find and apply to production supervisor jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to production supervisor jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings across industries including defense manufacturing, food processing, and pharmaceuticals.
