Associate Partner; Project Management Client-Side​/Consultancy

Overview

Ward Williams is growing and doing things differently.

Over the past 10 years, we have doubled in size and built a reputation we are proud of. We are the first consultancy of our kind globally to achieve B Corp status, and we have been recognised with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. This reflects not just what we say, but how we work.

We deliver projects that matter, shaping smarter and more sustainable environments with a positive impact on the communities around us, particularly within the healthcare sector where the work we do has a direct and lasting impact on people’s lives.

What really sets us apart is how we operate as a business.

At Ward Williams, we work within a Partnership model built on custodianship, where our senior people take real responsibility for the direction of the business, not just the projects they deliver.

As an Associate Partner, you will play a key role in shaping our healthcare offering. Alongside delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients, you will use your sector experience to build trusted relationships, identify opportunities, and help grow our presence within healthcare.

You will have the freedom to lead in a way that feels authentic to you, bringing your healthcare experience into play to influence projects, clients, and the wider direction of the business.

We are a people‑first business at heart, which means giving you the trust, space and backing to make a genuine impact, whether that is developing others, strengthening our position in the healthcare sector, or helping us continue to do things differently.

At Ward Williams, you are not just joining the business. You are helping shape where it goes next.

We’re looking for someone with strong experience in a construction consultancy environment, with a proven track record in healthcare projects, confidence in leading client relationships, and the ability to identify and develop opportunities within the sector.

You’ll play a key role in delivering high‑quality healthcare projects, while also supporting the growth of this area of the business through your expertise, relationships, and insight.

Our London team is continuing to grow, making this an exciting time to join Ward Williams. With a particular focus on expanding our healthcare offering, you’ll have the opportunity to play a key role in shaping both the team and our presence in the sector.

Based in our City Road office, you’ll work closely with our Regional Partner, Caroline Lassen, who has recently joined the business. Caroline brings a strong track record in leading high‑performing teams and building lasting client relationships, with a clear focus on creating a positive and collaborative culture.

You’ll be part of a team where senior people are visible, approachable and actively involved in the work we deliver. There is a real sense of shared ownership, with people encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge thinking, and play a part in how the business evolves – both in London and nationally.

The office itself sits in a well‑connected and vibrant part of London, with Old Street, Liverpool Street and Moorgate close by.
