Role of Construction Supervisor

On a construction site supervisor is responsible for getting the work done from workers. Supervisor constitutes  the first line of management. The details of their jobs differ from the others in the construction organisation: The supervisors are the grass roots level representatives of management of the organisation to the non managerial employees viz skilled and unskilled workers. They get the work done through the efforts of the others. The Supervisors' task is very often a difficult one and complex too. They have to channelise the energies of the workers to accomplish the job entrusted to them. In this effort a supervisor has no doubt, to concentrate on the individual efforts,but his focus ought to be the predetermined goals which has been assigned to him. Thus the main responsibility of a construction supervisor can be sad to be the realisation of the goals of the organisation-in the form of creation of a structure or services through the efforts of the workers by channelizing the energies of the latter in a specific direction.
