Job Overview

Harmony 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 now have an opportunity for an Electrical Supervisor to join our M&E Projects team across the South of England. 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 and flexibility to travel across multiple sites is essential. It is more than just a site role: it is about bringing the right energy, accountability and resilience to our mission of saving lives through fire and height safety.

Key Responsibilities

• Quality and Compliance Management – ensure all electrical works, including fire alarm installations, emergency lighting systems and associated electrical systems, are completed to Harmony, BS5839, BS5266 and industry standards. Carry out timely checking of works on site and ensure accurate data input and record keeping 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 to the Project Manager 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 electrical works are certifiable and compliant, delivered to both client and Harmony expectations. Carry out regular spot checks, record findings accurately and ensure all certification and test documentation is completed correctly at each stage.
• Client Management – attend pre‑start meetings and ensure the site is always tidy and representative of Harmony’s brand. Carry out onsite resident liaison where required and communicate works clearly to those affected.
• 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 relevant H&S paperwork, deliver regular toolbox talks and maintain a safe working environment through ongoing training and auditing.

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 the South of England, 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.
