It is shown that the quantum Hamiltonian characterising a non-relativistic electron under the influence of an external spherical symmetric electromagnetic potential exhibits a supersymmetric structure. Both cases, spherical symmetric scalar potentials and spherical symmetric vector potentials are discussed in detail. The current approach, which includes the spin-1/2 degree of freedom, provides new insights to known models like the radial harmonic oscillator and the Coulomb problem. We also find a few new exactly solvable models, one of them exhibiting a new mixed type of shape invariance containing translation and scaling of potential parameters. The fundamental role as Witten parity played by the spin-orbit operator is high-lighted.
