What is the role of Site Supervisor?

Thanks,

Agreed with the colleagues answers and no more to add

Performance targets are found in almost all industries, and one of the most important parts of the job is getting these set up. The site supervisor communicates the targets to staff members and works with the team to meet and exceed those goals. This can often be done by making changes to business processes and by motivating team members. The supervisor can encourage staff members to exceed their previous performance output by working as a team, though this usually requires at least a certain degree of leading by example.

Site Supervisors

The Site Supervisor’s role is to coordinate and control all physical aspects of the day-to-day working on construction projects to ensure safety and compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Responsible to the Project Manager and Construction Manager, the Site Supervisor is accountable for the progress of the site works and control of activities generally on-site as well as ensuring accurate recording of all information and that quality records including worker numbers onsite, accident incident reporting and quality traceability processes are maintained.

I agree with all previous answer.

As supervisor, assuring that all works carried out were as per plan and specifications as basic requirements,,most important rule of supervisor is to give instructions and proper coaching specially for new workers before and during activities..Problem solving and giving immediate solution on any unnecessary problem occur on actual site condition.

Roles and responsibilities of a supervisor consists of looking over employees and making sure the job is done right, and at a timely manner. Also, resolving issues on conflicts in the work place whether it's work, personal employee issues, or any other type of work related issues. They also have a role in helping resolve or directing an employee to the right person within the place of employment for work related issues, say HR for any assistance they provide
