WARD WILLIAMS ASSOCIATES

Location: Gloucester

Salary: From £45K

At Ward William Associates (WWA), we are passionate, professional people working together to deliver independent, straightforward advice over the lifetime of our client’s construction project.

We are the 1^st Chartered Surveyors in the World to have achieved B Corp Certification™, meaning we have met the highest social and environmental performance standards. As a B Corp™, we aim to influence a more sustainable built environment for people, places and the planet, both now and in the future. If you want to help make a difference through your skills, WWA is the right consultancy for you.

Even though we are passionate about the built environment, the team is much more than just the day job. We are a mix of walkers, campers and surfers, as well as those who prefer a quiet night in with a good book. We have people dedicated to their young families, some who are just beginning their careers and others with many years of experience looking to share their knowledge. Whether you are the life and soul of the party or someone who prefers their own company you will find a brilliant mix of happy professionals to work with at WWA – we positively promote equality, diversity and inclusion for all.

We are looking for an innovative individual who wants to question, learn and improve: to think beyond your current skillset and harness technology to mitigate risk and speed up delivery. You will be focused on leading a team to optimise value for our clients. It is essential that all Associate Partners focus on relationships (internally and externally) and provide a personal service to our clients.
