Performance KPIs I would recommend making the JD KPI-driven, rather than simply listing duties:

KPI

Measurement

Work Quality

Defects/rework attributable to site execution

Schedule

Planned vs. actual progress

Labour Productivity

Output vs. manpower deployed

Material Control

Wastage and material reconciliation

Snag Closure

% snags closed within agreed timeline

Reporting

Accuracy and timeliness of daily reports

Safety

Site incidents / safety violations

Coordination

Resolution time for site issues

Most important: the supervisor should not merely be a person who watches labour. The role should be positioned as the owner of day-to-day site execution, with clear accountability for quality, progress and coordination.
