What is it like to work in Oxford:

As a Quantity Surveyor in our newly opened Oxford office, you will be joining a small but growing team of Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors, and Building Surveyors.

You will be working collaboratively across a varied portfolio of projects, supporting the delivery of high-quality outcomes for our clients. Our approach combines the professionalism, resources, and technical expertise of a national consultancy with the flexibility and close-knit atmosphere of a smaller office.

You will have access to strong mentoring, structured learning opportunities, and the chance to broaden your experience across different sectors and project types. This role is ideal for someone who is looking to make a real impact, develop their career, and contribute to the growth of a new office.

As the Oxford office expands, you will play an important role in strengthening the team, helping to build relationships with new clients, and supporting the delivery of work to the high standards Ward Williams is known for.
