Site Supervisor

Job Summary 

The Site Supervisor plays a key leadership role on Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) project sites, providing both operational oversight and technical guidance to site personnel. The role involves supervising multiple Team Leaders on larger projects and directly overseeing tradespeople on smaller sites. The Site Supervisor ensures that works are executed in line with project drawings, timelines, safety standards, and quality requirements, while serving as a key link between site activities and project management.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Interpret Project Drawings: Understand and interpret MEP project drawings and guide Team Leaders in executing work accordingly. Ensure proper coordination of MEP trades with other site activities and supervisors. 
  • As-Fitted Drawings: Take ownership of ‘As-Fitted Drawings’ during project execution, in collaboration with Team Leaders. 
  • Material Preparation: Ensure all necessary materials and tools are available before starting tasks to prevent delays. Coordinate with the company store in Msida (“Tal-Baqar”) when required, unless a Storekeeper is assigned to the site. 
  • Labour Monitoring & BOQ Awareness: Stay informed about the Labour Bill of Quantities (BOQ). Monitor labour usage and raise concerns with the M&E Project Coordinator if estimates are being exceeded or if errors in projections are identified. 
  • Training Needs Identification: Evaluate skill gaps within the team and recommend relevant training or upskilling needs to the M&E Project Coordinator. 
  • Attendance & Administration: Manage attendance records, timesheets, and leave requests. If no Storekeeper is present, the Site Supervisor will also manage site requisitions and inventory logs.
  • Tool Management: Collect and return tools and equipment when staff are reassigned to other project sites, ensuring accountability.
  • Communication Liaison: Serve as a communication bridge between the Panta office and site. Use tools provided by the company (email, mobile phone, etc.) to ensure timely updates.  Delegate tasks to Team Leaders as required by the needs of the project. 
  • Hands-On Involvement: Remain actively involved in site work when needed—especially on smaller projects where Team Leaders may not be assigned. 
  • Enforce a zero-tolerance policy for any abuse, harassing, or discriminatory behavior in the workplace. Incidents or concerns must be escalated promptly to maintain a respectful, professional, and inclusive environment for every team member.
  • Site Discipline & Safety: Promote discipline and site standards among Team Leaders and their teams. Enforce compliance with all Health & Safety regulations and company policies. 
  • Follow company policies, procedures, and legal requirements. 
  • Comply with all workplace health and safety rules, use personal protective equipment as required, and report any hazards or unsafe conditions immediately.

Working conditions 

  • The Site Supervisor will be working on one site and is expected to perform duties in accordance with standard employment conditions and site safety protocols. 

 Reporting Structure / Accountability 

  • The Site Supervisor will report directly to the Foreman or to a designated person in their absence. 
  • Team Leaders on-site report directly to the Site Supervisor 

Qualifications, skills and experience 

  • Minimum 7 years’ experience in MEP installations, including substantial experience in a supervisory or senior site role. 
  • Basic computer literacy, including use of email, digital reporting tools, and electronic timesheet or attendance systems. 
  • Practical familiarity with labour BOQs, productivity tracking, and resource monitoring to support cost and programme control. 
  • Solid working knowledge of Health & Safety regulations and company policies, with the confidence and authority to enforce compliance consistently on site. 
  • Strong and broad technical understanding of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems, with proven ability to interpret and apply engineering drawings, specifications, and schematics.  
  • Well‑developed leadership and people‑management skills, with experience supervising multiple Team Leaders and skilled labour across several trades and project environments. 
  • Excellent organizational, planning, and time‑management skills, particularly in managing parallel activities across single or multiple project sites. 
  • Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making skills, with the ability to assess site issues, manage risks, and take timely corrective action under pressure.  
  • High attention to detail in documentation, including as‑fitted drawings, labour monitoring, material planning, and quality control records. 
  • Proven adaptability to projects of varying size and complexity, with willingness to remain hands‑on when operationally required. 
  • High‑level communication skills, both verbal and written, enabling effective coordination with internal teams, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients.
