I think we should use the word "monitor" in this case. "mentor" is a good teacher and it should be used in education background only. But the context here is in working. I usually heard about " your job is monitored by someone" while working.
Am I right? Could you please explain more about this?
Thank you and Best regards

Mentor is often used in an educational setting but certainly not exclusively as it means someone who is a guide and adviser. Monitor as a verb means check and review but as a noun is more often a device that shows the process of checking. It is also the word for a computer screen.
