That is quite easy to answer.
drive around looking at totty all day.
no infact scaffolders never realise that the managers work 24 hr days. they get grief from directors , clients , scaffolders, wagon drivers and everybody else who can moan like fuk at them.
They then have to win you the work to keep everybody employed and pay out the crap wages due to everybody wanting scaffolding for free these days. sometimes stacking shelves in tesco's seems heaven. instead of changing nappies and wiping everybodies arse's day after day.

The main duty of a supervisor is the control and monitor the work.
Every company has targets and the supervisor role puts you on the hot spot for achiveing them.
The supervisor role is a bit of a thankless position, you get pressure from above and pressure from the men. What ever goes wrong is your fault ! but, its a step on the ladder.
You need very thick skin when you get some **** site agent spitting his dummy on a monday morning because the boys have joined the monday club !

Did three years supervising then a couple as a contracts manager for the same firm
I learnt a great deal in those five years,I always thought it was about putting up the scaffold (scaffolders) soon found out about the ins and outs of the management side of this game.
So much so that I left and set up on my own,thought if I was getting all these headaches I may as well get them for myself and take a big slice of the profits at the year end
