Croatian term or phrase: šef gradilišta
Construction manager mi se čini malo "previše managerski" i nedovoljno operativno. Traži se osoba koja je prisutna, ima kacigu na glavi, vodi računa o tome da materijal bude dovežen na vrijeme, prati radnike i njihov učinak, sluša i odgovoran je nadzornom organu itd. Radi po unaprijed zadanom planu kojeg operativno razrađuje na jednostavne radne operacije. Nešto između "foreman" i "construction manager"

construction site manager


Explanation:
A construction site manager, sometimes called a construction supervisor, may be associated with the general contractor or may work independently to supervise a construction site. In addition to making sure all safety procedures are followed, this individual is also responsible for making sure the process stays on budget and on schedule. If the project overruns in either, or both of these areas, it is up to construction site manager to justify these issues to the owner of the project.

In most cases, the construction site manager will meet regularly with the owner or commissioner of the project. This will allow the interested parties to remain fully informed of any potential issues, and then make the necessary decisions with the new information. There can be valid reasons for cost overruns, or construction delays. These will need to be thoroughly explained. This is a must in any form of construction management.
