Pre-Construction Manager (active)

Since 2016, Harmony Fire has grown to become one of the UK’s leading life safety contractors, delivering passive fire protection, building fabric and M&E works across residential, social housing, commercial and public sector markets. We hold a Two Star Outstanding Company to Work For accreditation from Best Companies and we are growing fast — and we’re looking for A-players to help us get there. Our mission is simple: every resident should be able to sleep safely at night, knowing their home is 100% compliant and protected. That is what drives everything we do. We now have an opportunity for Pre-Construction Managers (multiple positions) to join our growing West Midlands pod, owning passive fire protection projects end-to-end from initial scope development through to handover into delivery. Based out of our Dudley office, you will work closely with our Pre-Construction Director and wider pod as we build out the West Midlands operation. This is more than a delivery role. It is about bringing the right energy, accountability and resilience to our mission of saving lives through fire and height safety.

 • Own each allocated project from scope development through to PCI pack completion and handover into delivery. 

• Develop scopes of work for passive fire protection projects that are accurate, compliant, commercially optimised and fit for the delivery team to execute without ambiguity. 

• Prepare pricing, scope build-ups and commercial positions for all allocated projects, approving within delegated authority and escalating above threshold to the Pre-Construction Director with a clear recommendation.
 
• Act as the day-to-day client contact on all allocated projects, running Pre-Construction Calls with a structured agenda and capturing all decisions and scope agreements in writing. 

• Line manage pod-aligned estimators, setting clear objectives and holding them accountable to quality and timeline. • Coordinate surveyors, workflow and admin support across your projects within the pod model. 
• Maintain forecast accuracy and report weekly on live projects in line with Harmony’s forecasting requirements. 

• Ensure all project records and commercial activity are kept current and accurate in Salesforce. 

• Contribute positively to the wider West Midlands pod and pre-construction function, sharing knowledge and supporting continuous improvement.
