Spanish term

Gerente/jefe de obras

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Job titles
Does anyone know what difference there is in Spain between a "gerente de obras" and a "jefe de obras"?
I've got a flowchart to translate, and "gerente de obras" is superior to "jefe de obras", but there's no further context to go on.

construction site supervisor

I have always translated "jefe de obras" as supervisor and "gerente" as the site manager.

agree philgoddard : Yes, it doesn't really matter what you call them as long as it's clear which is the more senior.

Gracias, Christian, pero necesito "foreman" para los capataces y los encargados, que también aparecen en el texto.
