We would need a bit more copntext. it's probably what we call a Manager of Natural Gas Inspection or Oversight. Not supervision. We supervise people, not products.

The meaning of 'fiscalización' varies somewhat from one country to another. What country does your document refer to? Peru?

oversight

fiscalización can be many things but oversight is a good general term... it could also be audit or inspection....

Inspection

OK, now we know it's Peru, the OSINEREGMIN website:

http://www.osinerg.gob.pe/newweb/pages/GFGN/1539_r.htm

uses both 'supervisión' and 'fiscalización', presumably because they refer to different contexts/tasks/functions.

In this case, 'fiscalización' appears to refer to 'inspection' - as in the inspection of gas installations on consumer's premises, for example. The mentioned website gives a list of companies authorized to carry out such inspections.
