This isn’t just your next role, it’s the one that elevates your career.

At Ward Williams, we’re not here to do average work. We're here to build in a way that’s smarter, more sustainable, and truly future-focused, shaping places that stand the test of time and make a lasting, positive impact. We’re seeking a talented Project Manager ready to take the next big step and help drive our journey forward. Whether 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 opportunity to thrive in a business that will challenge and support you in equal measure.

We’re expanding our dynamic Project Management team in Plymouth, and we’re searching for someone who brings 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, with exposure across a wide range of sectors including:

• Commercial
• Residential
• Education
• Heritage
• Public and private sector schemes

You’ll be a key part of a collaborative, fast-moving team, taking ownership of project lifecycles from inception to completion, all while building relationships, developing leadership skills, and laying the foundations for the next stage of your career.

And you’ll do all this in a genuinely different company. 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 be part of a consultancy that walks the talk when it comes to sustainability, equity, and meaningful impact.
• You’ll be surrounded by passionate, driven professionals who are always pushing for better — in how we work, how we support each other, and how we serve our clients.
• You’ll be backed with structured development, mentorship and career progression — because your growth matters here.

Whether you see yourself stepping into senior roles, leading on major projects, or building out new sector specialisms, we’ll help you get there.

So if you're ready to take that step to lead bigger projects, shape places that matter, and build a career with purpose, then we’d love to hear from you!
