Senior Quantity Surveyor – Gloucester (Client-Side/Consultancy)

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. We are one of the first consultancies of our kind globally to achieve B Corp status and have been recognised with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. 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

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. This is an opportunity to take real ownership of your work, working closely with senior colleagues while playing a key role in delivering high-quality projects.

At Ward Williams, our values shape how we work every day.

Impact – You take ownership and care about delivering meaningful outcomes, building strong relationships with clients and contributing to projects that make a positive difference.

Imagination – You’re open to new ideas and ways of working, always looking for better approaches that add value to projects and the people around you.

Authenticity – You’re collaborative, approachable, and genuine in how you work, building trust with clients and colleagues and creating an environment where people feel comfortable doing the same.

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.

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. People are in the office, collaborating, problem-solving, and supporting each other day to day, creating a positive, engaging place to work where relationships are built naturally and people continue to learn from one another.

You’ll be involved in supporting and developing our future talent, working with and mentoring apprentices as they build their careers. It’s a hands-on, supportive environment where you’re encouraged to share your experience, take ownership, and play a visible role within a team that is both ambitious and collaborative.

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. You know your craft and take pride in doing things properly, not just getting them over the line.

You’re likely at a point where you’re looking for more visibility and a stronger connection to the team and the work you’re delivering. 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.

You value quality over volume. You’d rather work in an environment where relationships matter, projects are delivered to a high standard, and you can see the impact of your work, rather than being pushed through high turnover delivery with little ownership.

You’re approachable and easy to work with. Someone who builds trust naturally, contributes to the team, and is comfortable supporting more junior colleagues as they develop. 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
