ABOUT WARD WILLIAMS: Ward Williams is growing and doing things differently. Over the past 10 years, we’ve doubled in size and built a reputation we’re proud of.

That reflects not just what we do, but how we work. We deliver projects that matter, helping to shape smarter, more sustainable environments, while building long-term relationships with the clients and communities we work with. But what really sets us apart is how we work day to day. At Ward Williams, there’s no unnecessary hierarchy, no being boxed into one type of project, and no feeling like just another name in a large team. Instead, we focus on creating an environment where people are trusted to take ownership, build strong relationships, and deliver work they’re genuinely proud of. We’re a people-first consultancy at heart, which means giving you the space, support, and autonomy to do your best work, while being part of a team that values collaboration, quality, and doing things the right way WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR: We’re looking for an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to join our growing Gloucester team, bringing strong delivery capability, commercial confidence, and the ability to build trusted relationships with clients.

We’re looking for someone with strong experience in quantity surveying within a construction consultancy environment, who is confident managing projects and building trusted client relationships. You’ll bring experience across a range of sectors, with the ability to work independently, take ownership, and take pride in delivering high-quality work. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK IN THIS OFFICE? Working in our Gloucester office means being part of a busy, close-knit team that genuinely enjoys working together. It’s an environment where people are present, ideas are shared openly, and challenges are tackled collectively rather than in isolation. There’s a strong sense of momentum here, with a growing pipeline of work and a team that takes pride in delivering high-quality projects.

YOUR PROFILE: THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WILL THRIVE IN GLOUCESTER; You’re already operating at Senior level, confident in your ability to run projects, build strong client relationships, and take full ownership of delivery.

In Gloucester, you’ll be part of a close-knit office where people work together day to day, meaning you’ll have real involvement in projects, clients, and the direction of the team, not just your own workstream.

In a collaborative office like Gloucester, that mindset makes a real difference. Most importantly, you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership, be trusted to get on with things, and play a visible part in a team that is growing with purpose, while still holding onto the culture that makes it a genuinely good place to work WHAT WE OFFER EMPLOYEES: What you can expect from us: * Flexible, hybrid working that gives you the balance you need, with time in the office to collaborate, connect and learn from each other * A competitive salary that genuinely reflects your experience and the value you bring * Tailored development to support your ambitions, with real investment in your progression * 38 days annual leave including public holidays, giving you the time to properly switch off * Your birthday off, because it should be celebrated properly * Enhanced family leave, offering additional support when you need it most * 6% employer pension contributions to help you plan for the future * Life cover at three times your salary, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind * Access to Aviva Digicare+, including virtual GP services and wellbeing support * A strong focus on wellbeing, with access to in-house support and resources * The chance to get involved in charity work and volunteering, with dedicated time to give back * Opportunities to engage with professional bodies and industry organisations, supporting your development and profile * A calendar of social events and activities, making it easy to build relationships and feel part of the team Be part of a culture that values you, not just for what you do, but for who you are.
