Description

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 are looking for a Pre-Construction Administrator to support our Building Fabric Pre Construction team across the Midlands. You will be the organisational backbone of a busy pre construction operation — keeping the bid tracker up to date, coordinating information, supporting tender submissions, and ensuring the team can focus on winning work.

This is an office-based role at the heart of a fast-moving team. If you are detail-oriented, highly organised, and want to build a career in pre-construction at one of the UK’s fastest growing fire safety specialists — this is a great place to start.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and update the pre-construction bid tracker, ensuring all live enquiries, submission deadlines, and pipeline status are accurately recorded at all times.
• Coordinate the flow of information between the pre-construction team and internal stakeholders — including estimating, design, procurement, and delivery.
• Support the preparation of tender submissions — formatting documents, compiling appendices, and ensuring all required information is included and presented correctly.
• Manage pre-construction correspondence and filing — ensuring all emails, documents, and records are organised, accessible, and up to date.
• Liaise with clients, subcontractors, and suppliers to chase and collate information required for live bids.
• Support the coordination of site surveys and pre-construction visits — booking appointments, confirming access, and circulating relevant information to the team.
• Assist with the preparation of handover packs for won projects, ensuring information is transferred accurately to the delivery team.
• Produce reports, summaries, and updates for the Pre-Construction Manager as required.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of pre-construction administration processes and templates.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• An A-player mindset — high standards, extreme ownership and the drive to do things properly, the first time.
• Experience in an administrative, coordinator, or support role within construction, pre construction, or a closely related environment.
• Excellent organisational skills — able to manage a busy workload, juggle competing priorities, and meet deadlines consistently.
• Strong attention to detail — accurate and thorough in all documentation, data entry, and correspondence.
• Clear and professional communicator — comfortable liaising with internal teams, clients, and suppliers by phone and email.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365 — particularly Outlook, Excel, Word, and Teams.
• A positive, proactive team player who takes pride in keeping things organised and running smoothly.
• Midlands-based and available full time.

Job Benefits

This is a chance to join the pre-construction team at one of the UK’s fastest-growing fire safety specialists — building your knowledge of building fabric and passive fire works from the inside, and developing the organisational and commercial skills that will take your career forward. 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. A-players here enjoy a competitive salary, a Personal Development Plan with ongoing training and mentoring, unlimited holiday, a bonus scheme paying up to 50% of annual salary, enhanced maternity and paternity, lunch, snacks and refreshments on us every day (fresh fruit and Takeaway Friday included), a team social budget, cycle to work, an auto-enrolment pension, two major company events a year and our Reward and Recognition scheme — including European mini-breaks for those who go above and beyond. It is a collaborative, high-energy environment focused on doing things the right way — and none of it is a perk for showing up; it’s what we share with the people pulling the business forward.

Harmony is an equal opportunity employer.
