Commissions and production bonuses are included; overtime, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses and benefits are excluded. Because the BLS mapping is generic to all engineering management, recruiters should prioritize candidates who demonstrate experience in specific machine processes rather than broad leadership titles. Use the national aerospace median of $192,800 as a point of reference if your production facility shares similarities with the aerospace or high-precision manufacturing segments. Focus on technical background and project management success to calibrate the final offer within the reported band width.
