摘要：Problem in road construction project could be triggered by employing a less competent Site Manager either in terms of knowledge and skills or in attitudes in the project. Therefore, an evaluation of the competency of the Site Managers and seeking the required development training to improve the relatively weaker items of competency is needed. This paper presents an evaluation of the competency of Site Manager of road construction project in the West Sumatera Road Construction Project 2014. The evaluation was conducted using expectation and performance analysis and the evaluated items of competency were extracted from Indonesian Standard of Competency for Labour especially for Site Manager of Road Construction. The study found that construction management system, project administration, and resource procurement are among competency factors that fall under average and should be improved in the future. Therefore, development training on those items could be initiated by the owner to reduce the risk of road construction project failure in the future.
