Job description

Senior Quantity Surveyor – Client-Side / Consultancy Experience - Winchester

• Full-time
• Winchester

At Ward Williams, we’re not here to deliver average. We’re here to build smarter, more sustainable, and future-focused — shaping places that stand the test of time and make a meaningful impact.

We’re looking for a talented Senior Quantity Surveyor ready to take the next big step and help drive our Winchester journey forward. If you’re feeling held back in your current role or simply know you’re ready for more — more responsibility, more visibility, more impact — this is your chance to thrive in a business that challenges and supports you in equal measure.

We’re expanding our dynamic Quantity Surveying team in Winchester, and we want someone with solid experience in a construction consultancy environment, confidence in client delivery, and the ambition to grow.

So, what makes this different?

You’ll be front and centre on high-profile projects, gaining exposure across a wide range of sectors. Live projects typically range from £5m–£50m, with a healthy pipeline of secured work and repeat client commissions.

Immediate project opportunities, delivering a new, state-of-the-art performing arts theatre in Andover (£30m). Developing a first-of-its-kind in the UK Oncology treatment centre and site-wide wellness facility (30m+), supporting a Local Authority to provide an expansion to their much-needed SEND school provision.

You’ll play a pivotal role in a collaborative, fast-moving team, taking ownership of projects from inception to completion, building strong client relationships, developing leadership skills, and laying the foundations for your next career leap.

And you’ll do all this in a company that truly stands apart. We’re the world’s first Chartered Surveyors to become a certified B Corp, and proud winners of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. Our purpose is real — we use business as a force for good, with People, Place, and Planet at the heart of everything we do.

Why Ward Williams?

• You’ll join a consultancy that truly delivers on sustainability, equity, and meaningful impact.
• You’ll be surrounded by passionate, driven professionals who constantly push for better — for clients, communities, and each other.
• You’ll have structured development, mentorship, and clear progression — because your growth matters here.

Whether your ambition is stepping into senior roles, leading on major projects, or building new sector expertise, we’ll help you get there. So, if you’re ready to lead bigger projects, shape places that matter, and build a career with real purpose — we’d love to hear from you.

To own projects end-to-end, bring your expertise to the table, and drive every detail to deliver outstanding results.

• Minimum of 2 years PQS experience in consultancy construction project management.
• MRICS qualification or equivalent professional qualification or a clear commitment to achieving chartered status.
• Strong knowledge of construction methodologies, design coordination, procurement, and contract administration.
• Proven experience in budgeting, cost control, value engineering, and maximising project profitability while maintaining quality.
• Experienced in managing NEC, JCT, and other contract forms to ensure commercial success.
• Skilled in identifying, assessing, and mitigating project risks to prevent impacts on timelines or budgets.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships with clients, contractors, consultants, and internal teams.
• Ability to manage complex project timelines and deliver milestones on schedule.
• Highly proficient in Microsoft 365 and cost management software (e.g., CADMeasure, iTWO CostX).
• Knowledge of regulatory standards, health & safety requirements, and internal quality benchmarks.
• Effective leadership skills, capable of guiding teams through changes in scope, schedule, or resources while maintaining focus and morale.
• Strong communication skills, able to report progress, challenges, and strategies clearly to leadership and clients

Join a dynamic team where innovation meets impact. At Ward Williams, we create an environment where every individual can thrive and grow.

• Hybrid working with flexible hours in the office to foster collaboration.
• Competitive salary that rewards your skills and experience.
• Tailored training and development to help you reach your goals.
• Generous 38 days of annual leave, including public holidays.
• Your birthday off to celebrate in style.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave for growing families.
• Employer pension contributions of 6% to secure your future.
• Life Cover worth three times your salary for peace of mind.
• Access to Aviva Digicare+ with virtual GP and wellness support.
• Opportunities for charitable fundraising and dedicated volunteering days.
• Active participation in professional and industry organisations.
• Regular sports and social events to build connections.

Be part of a culture that values you, not just for what you do, but who you are.
