The Site Supervisor is the named individual who delegates the authority and responsibility to person the duties of the Supervisor under the NEC contract between HS2 and the EWC.

Your role

The Site Supervisor responsibilities include the following:

  • Review and comment on the Inspection and Test Plans, Material Approvals and Method statements in conjunction with the PM and Engineering team.
  • Record that the works are constructed or installed in accordance with the Contract and Works information, and report any non-compliance identified during the inspection.
  • Attend and feedback into regular meetings with the PM and Contractor staff.
  • Facilitate, coordinate and undertake test and inspections and site-based queries with regards to defects and coordinating their resolution (where it is not the responsibility of the Contractor).
  • Assist the PM in his review and acceptance of the Contractor certification packages.
  • Monitor, inspect and sign off the quality of the works across all enabling contracts.
  • Oversee tests and inspections carried out by the Contractor and "Others" third parties. The inspections shall be undertaken both on and off site.

  • The Supervisor shall act in a spirit of mutual trust and co-operation with the Employer, the Contractor and the Project Manager.
  • Both the Project Manager and the Supervisor roles act as agents to the Employer and are independent of each other.
  • Whilst the Project Manager is the focal point of the contract, and it is their duty to manage the contract on behalf of the Employer (to achieve the Employer's'objectives with regard to budget, programme, quality), the Supervisor performs an independent role in regard to the quality of the works.
  • The Supervisor is accountable for the issue of some instructions direct to the Contractor, but this is limited to ensure clarity of instruction and intentions and that the Project Manager is aware of all issues (such instructions are limited to Search for a Defect).
