Splendid face-shield for the foreman (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

supervisor

'foreman' is the definition.
(I know that foreman can be written as supervisor)

'splendid face-shield' is the wordplay.
'splendid' becomes 'super' (I've seen this in another clue).
'face' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'shield' becomes 'visor' (visor is a kind of shield).
'super'+'visor'='SUPERVISOR'

'for the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for supervisor that I've seen before include "Man in charge" , "One looks over" , "Tutor" , "gaffer?" , "Line manager" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
