Some terminology & usage in this area may differ between American English & British English (& other countries' English also). Are you asking about any specific 'form' of English?

Depends on what the guy (or gal) does. Different terms apply to the planner, financer, construction manager, lead tradespeople on the job, and "drone" workers.
