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 Small Works Manager to take end-to-end accountability for small works activity across our Service division. This is a newly created role that fills a real gap — someone who can own the full delivery lifecycle, be the face of Harmony to our clients on small works, and spot the opportunities that come from being in front of customers and in the field every day.
This is more than a delivery role. It is about bringing the right energy, commercial instincts, and ownership to a function that is growing fast — and making sure every small works job lands on time, on budget, and to the standard our clients expect.
Key Responsibilities
- Take end-to-end accountability for the planning, coordination, and delivery of small works across the Service division — owning the programme from instruction through to completion.
- Ensure all small works activity is underpinned by the right controls: programme management, health and safety compliance, financial oversight, and delivery to specification.
- Be the primary point of contact for clients on small works — attending site, building relationships, and representing Harmony with professionalism and confidence.
- Identify and develop further commercial opportunities arising from site visits and client relationships, feeding pipeline opportunities back to the service and sales teams.
- Maintain full financial accountability for small works — tracking costs, margins, and variations, and ensuring each job delivers against its approved scope.
- Ensure all works comply with relevant health and safety requirements, method statements, and risk assessments.
- Work closely with the scheduling, engineering, and service admin teams to coordinate resource, manage workloads, and keep delivery on track.
- Report on small works performance — programme, financials, quality, and customer satisfaction — keeping senior stakeholders informed and escalating risks early.
- Drive continuous improvement across small works delivery, identifying process gaps and working with the wider service team to resolve them.
