The foreman has too good a view, apparently (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overseer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the foreman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'too good a view apparently' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'view' could be 'see' (synonyms) and 'see' is located in the answer.
'good' could be 'err' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'err' is located in the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overseer that I've seen before include "One manages" , "Superintendent, manager" , "'Supervisor, chargehand (8)'" , "monitor" , "gaffer" .)
