Ward Williams is growing and doing things differently
We’re a growing consultancy that’s built its reputation on doing things a bit differently. Over the past 10 years, we’ve doubled in size, become one of the first consultancies globally to achieve B Corp status, and earned a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development, all things we’re genuinely proud of.
We place just as much value on how we work as what we’ve achieved.
No overly corporate culture, no being boxed into one type of project, and no being just another name in a large team. Instead, we focus on giving people the space to take responsibility, deliver high-quality work, and contribute to complex civils and infrastructure projects that have a real and lasting impact.
You’ll be working on projects that shape communities and environments, in a team that values collaboration, straight talking, and doing things properly.
It’s about building strong relationships, taking pride in what you deliver, and continuing to develop in a way that feels natural rather than forced.
Who are we looking for:
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager with a strong background in civils and infrastructure, ideally with experience across strategic land and large-scale residential schemes.
You’ll be confident leading projects from the front, managing client relationships, and acting as a trusted and reliable point of contact. This is a role where you’ll have real ownership, not just of delivery, but of how projects are shaped and relationships are built.
Our Gloucester office has strong momentum, an established client base, and a genuinely collaborative team. This role is about stepping into that environment and playing a key part in both delivering high-quality work and supporting the continued growth of the team.
You’ll be leading on complex infrastructure projects, working closely with the Project Management Partner, and supporting the development of more junior colleagues. Alongside delivery, you’ll contribute to client relationships and help build on the strong reputation we’ve already established.
What tends to work well at Ward Williams is less about ticking boxes and more about how you approach your work:

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

- Impact – you take ownership and want to make a meaningful difference.
- Imagination – you’re open to new ideas and always looking for better ways of doing things.
- Authenticity – you’re straightforward, collaborative, and easy to work with.
What is it like to work in this office?
People are in the office, working together, sharing ideas and solving problems as a team. There’s a strong sense of momentum in Gloucester, with a growing pipeline of work and a culture where people support each other and get stuck in.
It’s a collaborative and hands-on environment where knowledge sharing happens naturally and everyone plays a part in delivering projects successfully. People know each other well, work closely together, and genuinely enjoy being part of the team, which creates a positive and supportive atmosphere day to day.
You’ll work closely with the Project Management Partner and wider team, with the opportunity to take on real responsibility and play a visible role in the office as it continues to grow.
What you’ll be doing;
- Play a key role in leading the delivery of civils and infrastructure projects, taking responsibility for outcomes and building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders along the way.
- Support the growth of the Gloucester office, contribute to new opportunities, and help develop more junior members of the team.
What we’re looking for;
- Strong experience delivering civils and infrastructure projects, either within a consultancy or client-side environment.
- Confidence in managing clients, stakeholders, and project teams, with a solid understanding of project delivery and commercial awareness.
- Experience across areas such as strategic land, utilities, or large-scale residential developments would be beneficial.
- A professional qualification (MRICS, MCIOB, APM or equivalent) is desirable.
- Ability to operate at a senior level with confidence, reliability, and a proactive approach.
What you can expect from us:
- Flexible, hybrid working that gives you genuine balance, with time in the office to collaborate and stay connected.
- A competitive salary that reflects your experience and the value you bring.
- Tailored development and progression, shaped around your ambitions, with real investment in your future.
- 38 days annual leave including public holidays, giving you the space to properly switch off and recharge.
- Your birthday off, because it should be celebrated.
- Enhanced family leave, offering extra support when it matters most.
- 6% employer pension contributions to help you plan ahead with confidence.
- Life cover at three times your salary, providing peace of mind for you and your family.
- Access to Aviva Digicare+, including virtual GP services and wellbeing support when you need it.
- A strong focus on wellbeing, with access to in-house support and resources.
- The opportunity to get involved in charity initiatives and volunteering, with dedicated time to give back.
- Opportunities to engage with professional bodies and industry networks, helping you build your profile.
- A calendar of social events and team activities, making it easy to build relationships and feel part of the team.
