Italian term or phrase: referente di cantiere
C'è una parola specifica per REFERENTE DI CANTIERE? Non so perché, ma contact person per "referente" non mi convince molto.

Grazie per qualsiasi suggerimento.

site agent
Explanation:
Italian does seem to have a lot more terms for site personnel than English does. Based on this description:
"referente di cantiere ovvero direttore tecnico di cantiere"
http://www.edilio.it/forum/Topic.asp?l=1&cod=23&topic_id=463...
I would suggest "site agent" since the only other option I can think of - Contracts Manager - is often not site based.
