DescriptionHarmony is on a mission to be the best life safety partner to work with and for. Rated an ‘Outstanding Employer’ by Best Companies in 2025, we are only getting bigger and stronger — and we’re looking for A-players to help us get there.

We are passionate about making a difference and obsessed with quality. Our goal is to build a world where every resident can sleep safely at night, knowing their home is 100% safe.

We have an opportunity for an Electrical Supervisor to join our M&E Projects team across Scotland. You will oversee the installation, testing, and commissioning of electrical fire safety systems including fire alarms, emergency lighting, and associated systems across a range of residential and commercial sites.

This is a field-based role requiring flexibility across multiple sites — a willingness to travel across Scotland is essential. This is more than a trades role. It is about bringing the right energy, accountability and resilience to our mission of saving lives through fire and height safety — and setting the standard for quality and safety on every site you walk onto.

Key Responsibilities

• Quality and Compliance — Ensure all works are completed to Harmony and BMTRADA standards. Carry out timely checking of works on site and ensure accurate data input throughout.
• Site Management — Oversee site set up and sign off, stock management, delivery of prelims, pre-condition surveys, and post inspections to allow for final sign off by the Project Manager. Identify and flag variation opportunities immediately.
• People Management — Resolve day-to-day issues, boost team morale, manage conflict, and identify resource requirements. Maximise the productivity and utilisation of colleagues and subcontractors on site.
• Quality Control — Ensure all works are certifiable and compliant, delivered to both client and Harmony expectations. Carry out regular spot checks and record findings accurately.
• Client Management — Attend pre-start meetings and ensure the site is always tidy and representative of Harmony’s brand.
• Communication — Provide regular progress updates to the Project Manager and weekly reports to the client. Attend calls as needed and agree reporting frequency with the Project Manager.
• Health and Safety — Implement Harmony’s H&S policy across all sites. Induct new trades, ensure completion of all H&S paperwork, deliver regular toolbox talks, and maintain a safe working environment at all times.

Skills, Knowledge And Expertise

• An A-player mindset — high standards, extreme ownership and the drive to do things properly, the first time.
• Proven experience in an electrical supervisory or senior trades role within fire safety or a closely related discipline.
• Hands-on experience with fire alarm systems and emergency lighting installations, including testing, commissioning, and certification to BS5839 and BS5266.
• Experience running projects to time and on budget across multiple sites.
• Comfortable working flexibly across Scotland, with a willingness to travel as required.
• Strong understanding of relevant electrical regulations and compliance requirements.
• A strong problem solver who sees things through to completion.
• Ability to build and maintain good working relationships with clients, subcontractors, and colleagues.
• Proactive, confident, tenacious, and resilient.

Benefits

This is a chance to take on a site supervision role at one of the UK’s fastest-growing fire safety specialists — leading project delivery across Scotland, with the tools, support and autonomy to do the job properly. At Harmony, we ask a lot — and we give a lot back. The hours are real, the standards are high and the work is demanding, but for those who show up, deliver and go the extra mile, the rewards follow.
