Answer»

Correct choice is (a) Superintending Engineer

The explanation is: On large construction PROJECTS, the superintendent’s (otherwise known as a ‘foreman’ outside the USA) job is to run the day-to-day operations on the construction site and control the short-term schedule. The role of the superintendent also includes important quality control and SUBCONTRACTOR coordination responsibilities. It is common for most finance-related tasks (especially labor and material cost control) and long-term scheduling to be handled by a PROJECT MANAGER. The project manager and superintendent need to cooperate and share control effectively. Superintendents are ALMOST universally stationed on the construction site, while project managers are usually based in the contractor’s office with part-time on site responsibilities.
