Spanish term or phrase: industriales en obra (in context)

This is a house refurbishment project and the work management stage includes:
Coordinación y seguimiento de industriales en obra.
Does this mean industrialists are monitored at the construction site? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

English translation:trades on site

Explanation:
Management of trades on site.

The use of "industriales" here I find unusual. It perhaps refers to what I would call "oficios" (carpenters, electriciena, plasterers, etc). Perhaps the whole context will show you if I am on the right track.

Regarding "en obra", I am confident that it means "on site"
