Spanish term

Jefe de Montajes

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Construction profession
This is from a quality control manual of a Spanish company that specializes in refractories. The client wants UK English. Under the company introduction section they have a list of positions at the company (Managing Director, Financial Director etc) which lists the following:


Jefe de Montajes
 Planificación de obras (tiempo, recursos, materiales)
 Compra de material para obras
 Control de obras (planes de puntos de inspección, realización de ensayos,...) junto con el Técnico de Calidad, Prevención.
 Control de costes de las obras
 Gestión de subcontrataciones
 Colaborar en la segregación de los residuos generados

I know what this means, I just can't find the right term in English. I have seen it translated as site supervisor but I'm not sure that's right. Has anyone come accross this term before? Thank you.

Based on the description - it is not a site supervisor.

or maybe

Constructions Manager
Note from asker:
In the end I went with Works Manager, I found a lot of references and it fit the context.
