Senior Quantity Surveyor in Gloucester

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. 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.

• 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.

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.

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.
• 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.

Ward Williams is proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
