one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee, between 5 and 30%, and you only pay it on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees. A team leader moving up to site supervisor and a senior site supervisor leading several teams do not call for the same search.
You have a double guarantee. If your new hire leaves within 3 months, we restart the search at no cost. If we find no replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of the fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
a site supervisor is judged by the project they run, every day
they're on site, not reading job ads
A good site supervisor already leads a team. They aren't looking for a job. A construction headhunter knows where to find them and how to approach them.
they solve what the schedule didn't plan for
A worker off sick, a late delivery, a safety incident: the site supervisor decides on the spot. The headhunter checks that ability, not just the CV.
a badly supervised site shows up in safety and deadlines
Delays, accidents, poor execution quality: the headhunter checks projects actually supervised and how safety was kept before introducing anyone to you.
the roles
the site supervision profiles our headhunters go after for you
From one team to several projects, each search goes to a headhunter who has already placed that profile.

already hired via muzzo
shell and core site supervisor
They supervise the masonry and structural teams, often on the most technical phases of a project.
fit-out site supervisor
They supervise the finishing trades (plastering, painting, electrical, plumbing), usually across several trades at once.
senior site supervisor
They lead several team leaders on a large project, and report directly to the site manager.
the method
a construction headhunter, not an agency that does everything
A site supervisor is judged by safety kept and the project delivered. So the method starts from the field, not just the job title.
we start from the teams and the project to run
Team size, trades involved, type of structure, region: the brief describes the real project, not a generic job description.
a headhunter who places site supervisors
From more than 2,500 selected headhunters, your role goes to those with the most hires in this construction trade.
projects and safety checked before the interview
The headhunter asks about projects actually supervised, the size of the teams led and how safety was kept, then cross-checks with references.
hiring a site supervisor: what you need to know
why use a headhunter to hire a site supervisor?
A good site supervisor already leads a team. They don't answer small ads: you have to approach them directly, with a project and clear terms.
A construction headhunter knows where to look for this profile and what to check: projects actually supervised, the size of the teams led, how safety was kept.
site supervisor or team leader: who leads what?
The team leader leads a group of workers on a specific task. The site supervisor supervises the whole site, often several team leaders, and answers for schedule, safety and execution quality to the site manager.
It's often a natural progression, from team leader to site supervisor. State the expected level in the brief: it changes the profile you need and the pay range.
what salary should you offer a site supervisor in 2026?
According to Apec, managerial site engineering roles, including site supervisors, earn a median of €52k gross a year, with 80% between €39k and €76k (2025 edition), against €55k for all managerial staff.
The sector matters: the median reaches €57k in manufacturing, against €53k in construction. So does the region: €55k in the Paris region, against €52k in the rest of France. The gap stays moderate across the country.
how do you assess a site supervisor at interview?
The CV lists projects and teams. The interview has to check something else: how the profile handled a safety issue, a late delivery or an understaffed team, on an ordinary day.
The headhunter asks about projects actually supervised and cross-checks the size of the teams led with references before introducing anyone to you.
construction or manufacturing: does the site supervisor role change?
According to Apec, managerial site engineering roles are paid slightly more in manufacturing (€57k median) than in construction (€53k). An industrial site supervisor often oversees maintenance or extension works on a live site, with different safety constraints than a new-build project.
The headhunter starts from this context before choosing the profile: a site supervisor from new-build projects doesn't always adapt straight away to a live industrial site.

A little, yes. According to Apec, the median reaches €57k in manufacturing, against €53k in construction (2025 edition). The context changes too: maintenance on a live site against a new-build project.
The site supervisor is on site every day and leads the teams directly. The site manager runs the project from a distance: budget, schedule, subcontractors, sometimes several projects in parallel. For this second role, see our site manager page.
