supervision of construction trades


Language variant: US English

Explanation:
I have no idea if this solution would work in Australia/the UK.

First-Line Supervisors and Manager/Supervisors- Construction Trades Workers - Directly supervise and coordinate activities of construction trades workers and their helpers. Manager/Supervisors are generally found in smaller establishments where they perform both supervisory and management functions, such as accounting, marketing, and personnel work and may also engage in the same construction trades work as the workers they supervise.

Explanation:
"supervision" will give it a little lower profile than "management"
