floorman

Pit crew overseer

A floorman is a worker who supervises or maintains operations on a floor—whether a casino floor, factory floor, or drilling rig floor.

In casinos, a floorman oversees dealers and watches for irregularities: The floorman came over when the player hit his third blackjack in a row.

On oil rigs, the floorman handles pipe and equipment on the drill floor.

In retail or manufacturing, the term designates someone responsible for a particular area of operations.
