foremen
Site boss types
Foremen is the plural of foreman—a worker who supervises others, typically in construction, manufacturing, or manual labor.
The foreman coordinates tasks, enforces standards, and serves as the link between management and the crew: The foremen met each morning to review the day's assignments.
The term assumes male workers; forewoman and the neutral foreperson exist but see limited use.
