agree  philgoddard: There are only 67 hits for this term if you exclude "responsable d'opérations", so I think it should be in the plural. The French are always leaving out and putting in silent Ss where they don't belong. The second instance is in the plural.

"De façon générale, le (la) responsable d’opération est en charge du suivi et du bon avancement de ses opérations et de l’exécution des tâches qui lui sont confiées. Il (elle) s’efforce d’anticiper le plus en amont les difficultés à venir, en analyse les causes et propose au directeur de projet des solutions pour y remédier. Il (elle) doit faire preuve d’adaptabilité et de réactivité pour accomplir ses missions et anticiper les difficultés, avoir une forte capacité au dialogue vers les différents partenaires impliqués dans l’opération (universitaires, ingénieurs, exploitants, maîtres d’oeuvre, entreprises, service de sécurité incendie, etc…) et savoir expliquer aux universitaires les nécessités et les enjeux des actions entreprises. Il doit faire preuve d’organisation pour pouvoir gérer plusieurs opérations aux temporalités et niveaux d’urgence divers (phase études / phase chantier)."

"Construction project managers deal with the day-to-day running of a construction project from start to finish.

Your job could include:

consulting with architects and surveyors to develop a plan, including timescales, resources required and costs involved.
developing schedules of work required for each day, from initial preparation of the site to final completion.
overseeing day-to-day work once building starts, checking progress and quality of the build.
ensuring the site meets health and safety and building regulations.
providing updates on progress to the customer"

Project manager


Explanation:
A project Manager is a person who is responsible for the execution of the project from the initiation stage to the completion stage and is responsible for all the works involved. I am sure as I have myself worked in that position for nearly 20 years.

neutral  B D Finch: It's just a bit too vague; I've been one too, but not with the added word "construction", as that required a surveying or engineering qual.
