'one supervising' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'street with energy draw back' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'draw' in reverse letter order is 'ward'.
'st'+'e'+'ward'='STEWARD'

'in' is the link.
