Location: Chesterfield
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
