Benefits

This is a chance to lead pre construction at one of the UK's fastest growing life safety specialists - with real ownership of how Harmony wins, plans and sets up its projects for delivery, and a senior seat at the table as we continue to expand nationally. 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 leadership mentoring, unlimited holiday, a bonus scheme paying up to 50% of annual salary, private medical insurance, enhanced maternity and paternity, lunch, snacks and refreshments on us every day (fresh fruit and Takeaway Fridays 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 - technically, commercially and practically - and none of it is a perk for showing up; it's what we share with the people pulling the business forward.
