Maintenance Supervisor

<< < (9/9)

S3GLMS:
     I can give you some idea based on my experience as a maintenance supervisor for TVA.  The Maintenance supervisor pay was based in 3 areas Electrical, Mechanical and Instrumentation.  The average for a general foreman (PG-7) was in the 65 to 75K per year range.  Now the initial offer was typically low range based on previous experience and education level.  The top of the scale was around 92K per year but that required several years of experience and taking on additional requirements such as completing INPO certification as a nuclear maintenance supervisor and certain management training courses as well as progressive skill development as a manager.  I initially interviewed to be a mechanical supervisor, as I was an MM in the Navy, but they needed an instrument supervisor and it payed more starting salary.  I had some electrical design classes in college so I was not clueless, and I had done basic switch and trip pont cals as an EWS.  I stayed with them for about three years and progressed to the I&C Shop manager role as well as filling in for the site maintenance manager whenever he was out of office.  There were corporate bonuses at year end and they were about 4% to 8% of my salary each year provided all of the goals had been met.  I also received a salary increase( 12K raise) to near top of range after 2 years.  This information is several years old now but it should be relatively accurate.  Expect a low offer initially but you will be compensated to the normal band quickly if you prove your worth.  They have a really heavy union issue there and it makes it hard to meet some of the efficiency goals so don't let that get in the way of trying to get a good job.

KilroyUSN:
I have about 4 years left in the navy, I have my Bachelors Degree in Nuclear Engineering.
I am currently and have been for a few patrols now, the Work Center Supervisor for Electical Division as well as the 3M Assistant for Engineering Department.
I really enjoy scheduling maintenance and making sure the paperwork aspect and the physical aspect are completed on time and the right way all the time.
I would love to get out of the navy and do the same line of work but have no idea what it would roughly pay, or even what they label it as in a civilian plant.
I am not a big fan of standing watch dont really like the idea of shift work but obviously those can be changed depending on if I like my job.
I will have 9 years in the navy when I get out, if anyone has any idea what job(s) I should be looking at and any information on how the job works in the civilian world and roughly how much it pays, and also anything I should make sure I get done prior to getting out of the navy. I would be forever gratefull.
Thank you.

This is a relatively decent post in another thread.  Read through the rest of it here.  Any more specific, different questions, I am sure someone can chime in.
