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.
