About This Course
The Site Supervisor course trains experienced construction professionals to manage entire work packages or sections of a construction project — overseeing multiple foremen, subcontractors, and up to 100+ workers.
A site supervisor operates at a higher level than a foreman: managing programmes, coordinating trades, controlling costs, reporting to engineers and project managers, and taking full responsibility for a section of the project. This role is well paid and respected in Nepal and internationally. This course is affiliated with CTEVT (Center for Technical Education and Vocational Training), Nepal.
