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.\nWe 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.\nThe Pre-Construction Manager (PCM) is the engine of the pod. Where the Pre-Construction Director owns the regional business unit, the PCM owns the projects, end-to-end, from the moment an opportunity is allocated through to a complete, quality handover into delivery.\nThis is not a coordination role. The PCM is the primary client contact on their projects, the commercial owner within their delegated authority, and the person accountable for the quality and completeness of everything that leaves pre-construction. The buck stops with the PCM on their projects - and they escalate to the PCD with a recommendation, not a problem.\nThe PCM operates in a modern pre-construction environment. Technical knowledge matters, but resourcefulness matters more. The best PCMs know what they know, know what they don’t know, and know exactly how to get the right answer fast - whether that’s pulling in shared specialist services, using Harmony’s AI-assisted workflow tools, or escalating to the right technical authority without delay.\nThe PCM line manages pod-aligned estimators and holds influence across the wider pod - surveyors, workflow coordination, and shared specialist services to deliver what their projects need.\nKey Responsibilities\n\nProject Ownership & Delivery\nProjects land at handover on time, in full, and to the required standard\nPCI packs are complete\nThe delivery team inherits a clean picture with no unresolved ambiguity\nPre-construction milestones are hit, or risks are flagged before they become misses\n\nCommercial Skill & Accuracy\nScopes and pricing are accurate, GP-maximised, and well-supported\nForecast reporting is on time and within 10% accuracy\nCommercial risks are identified, documented, and escalated with a recommendation\nDelegated authority is used with judgement\n\nClient Management\nThe client knows exactly who the PCM is and trusts them to deliver\nMeetings are structured and documented\nCommitments are followed through\nProblems are surfaced and resolved early\nThe PCD is brought in at the right moments, not the wrong ones\n\nTechnical Resourcefulness\nEngages confidently with scope and compliance\nKnows the limits of their own knowledge and acts on them immediately: pulling in shared services, using workflow tools, or escalating to engineering authority without delay\nNever holds an unresolved technical question past the point it needs answering\n\nProcess Discipline & Governance\nOperates in the correct workflow pathway\nUses Harmony's AI-assisted tools properly\nKeeps Salesforce and project records current and auditable\nEscalates above authority limits without exception\nPCI packs are never incomplete\n\nSkills, Knowledge & Expertise\nTakes end-to-end ownership without being chased. If it’s their project, they own it completely.\nCommercially sharp: understands margin, scope creep, and what a good deal looks like.\nClient-focused: responsive, clear, and professional. The client should feel well looked after at every stage.\nResourceful over encyclopaedic: knows what they don’t know and moves fast to get the right answer from the right source.\nProcess-honest: operates within Harmony’s framework, uses the tools, follows the rules - not because they’re told to, but because they understand why it matters.\nPuts everything in writing. No verbal agreements, no undocumented decisions.\nEscalates with a recommendation, not just a problem. Comes to the PCD with options.\nCalm under pressure: pre-construction is fast-moving. The best PCMs are organised, methodical, and composed when things get complex.\nPeople-decent: line manages estimators fairly, coordinates the wider team effectively, and contributes positively to the pod.\nCurious and self-improving: uses AI-assisted tools, learns from every project, and actively builds their own knowledge and network.\nLondon-based and available full time.\nFull UK driving licence. \nJob Benefits\nThis is a chance to lead the pre-construction function for one of the UK’s fastest-growing fire safety specialists across London - with a strong and growing pipeline, a supportive senior team, and the autonomy to build something you can be proud of. 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.\nHarmony is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants for employment regardless of age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief. We want everyone who works with us to feel valued and to make a difference.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5763,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Company events"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Facilities Management","Engineering Services","Construction"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T18:57:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-06T22:32:54+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.371,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":58,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/harmonyfire-pre-construction-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/harmonyfire-pre-construction-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T06:03:40Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14670,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":672953},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=672953"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fharmonyfire-pre-construction-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fharmonyfire-pre-construction-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fharmonyfire-pre-construction-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/harmonyfire-pre-construction-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fharmonyfire-pre-construction-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":624152}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"harmonyfire.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":624152},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
