What should you know about role pay against all occupations, by metro?

Ratio = this role's published median divided by the all-occupations median in the same metro, same units, both exact. A ratio above 1.00 means the role's median is higher than the metro's all-occupations median. It makes no cost-of-living claim. Location quotient (LQ) is employment concentration, not a wage index.

Recruiter's read. Qualitative interpretation, not another BLS estimate.

The Controls Supervisor role is essential for balancing daily team workload with the immediate needs of equipment support. Managers need to confirm that candidates have the ability to guide technicians through complex troubleshooting without losing sight of broader equipment priorities. Before reviewing regional wage data, distinguish this supervisory position from network-wide investment management, as the focus here is strictly on plant-floor reliability.

A successful interview will center on how the candidate handles breakdown assignments, specifically looking for their ability to balance safe equipment recovery with technician development. This provides concrete evidence of their supervisory style and technical judgment. Look for individuals who can explain how they determined the right balance between doing the work themselves and assigning it to others.

While regional wage statistics provide basic context, they are not a definitive guide to the worth of a Controls Supervisor in your unique manufacturing environment. Use these figures as a starting point, but recognize that your hiring offer must be grounded in the technical complexity of your equipment and the seniority needed to lead your local team. Do not allow broad economic figures to limit your search or your compensation strategy.

Settling the reporting remit and the nature of the technical oversight is vital before beginning the search. A qualified Controls Supervisor needs to know exactly what kind of team they will lead and what level of authority they have during production-critical moments. By clarifying these points early, you ensure the conversation remains focused on their experience and your specific plant needs, which attracts candidates who are truly prepared to own this responsibility.

What should you know about questions before using this pay map?

The location quotient shows the concentration of the broader occupation category. For Controls Supervisor in the United States, releases are separate survey estimates. The May 2025 median is $120,630; the May 2024 median is $111,910. Their arithmetic difference is $8,720.

How should I factor in the supervisory aspect into the wage range?

The median wage data for general electrical engineers does not account for the added value of team leadership and daily operational management. Adjust your internal targets to account for these specific supervisory responsibilities.

Does the wage data reflect the on-call demands of this position?

No, these statistics are broad averages that ignore the operational realities of plant-floor controls support, such as off-hours availability or emergency response expectations.

Is it realistic to hire below the regional median for a supervisor?

Hiring strategy should be based on the role's impact on your plant performance, not on regional medians. If your role requires high-level skills, your compensation must reflect that regardless of the general local economic benchmark.

Does the location quotient help me identify where supervisors are most common?

The location quotient shows the concentration of the broader occupation category. For Controls Supervisor in the United States, releases are separate survey estimates. The May 2025 median is $120,630; the May 2024 median is $111,910. Their arithmetic difference is $8,720. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause.
