Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How maintenance supervisor pay ranges in Argentina

A good way to think about salary in Argentina is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all maintenance supervisors in Argentina earn less than 253,400 ARS 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 180,500 ARS (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 308,900 ARS (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of maintenance supervisors sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 148,300 ARS. The highest stretch to 413,900 ARS, 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.

Maintenance supervisor pay by experience in Argentina

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a maintenance supervisor in Argentina, 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 maintenance supervisor salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    172,200 ARS
  • 2-5 Years
    +26% from previous
    216,800 ARS
  • 5-10 Years

    +10% from previous
    372,600 ARS
  • 20+ Years
    +6% from previous
    396,300 ARS

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 33%. That is the point at which a maintenance 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.


Maintenance supervisor pay by education in Argentina

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving maintenance supervisor pay in Argentina. 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.

Maintenance supervisor gender pay gap in Argentina

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Argentina is no exception. Male maintenance supervisors in Argentina earn an average of 283,400 ARS a year, while female maintenance supervisors earn around 265,000 ARS. That works out to a 7% 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.
