What is a Project Supervisor Design Process?

The Project Supervisor Design Process must have extensive knowledge of the design process, that person does not necessarily carry out design work, nor even be a designer. The important point is that the person appointed is competent in safety and health and is adequately resourced for the role.

The Project Supervisor Design Process may generally be an organisation rather than an individual person for all but the smallest contracts. The organisation would typically be an architectural practice, a contractor, a firm of consulting engineers, or a specialist project management group (HSA.ie).
