overlooker
One who supervises
An overlooker is someone who oversees or supervises, particularly in British industrial contexts where the term designated a factory foreman or mill supervisor: The overlooker inspected each loom before the shift began.
The word can also mean one who overlooks—either by watching from above or by failing to notice something.
