Average Electrical Supervisor Salary in Peru for 2026

How much does an electrical supervisor make in Peru?

A typical electrical supervisor working in Peru brings home around 5,033 PEN a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 30,700 PEN, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 92,300 PEN for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior electrical supervisor working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How electrical supervisor pay ranges in Peru

A good way to think about salary in Peru is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all electrical supervisors in Peru earn less than 57,800 PEN a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 37,880 PEN (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 72,700 PEN (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of electrical supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 30,700 PEN. The highest stretch to 92,300 PEN, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Electrical supervisor pay by experience in Peru

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for an electrical supervisor in Peru, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical electrical supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 40%. That is the point at which a electrical supervisor typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.

Electrical supervisor pay by education in Peru

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving electrical supervisor pay in Peru. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Electrical supervisor gender pay gap in Peru

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Peru is no exception. Male electrical supervisors in Peru earn an average of 62,420 PEN a year, while female electrical supervisors earn around 55,320 PEN. That works out to a 13% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for an electrical supervisor in Peru

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Peru sees a raise of about 9% every 19 months, which works out to roughly 6% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Peru, the national average raise is around 9% every 17 months.
