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 Project Manager ready to take the next big step and help drive our Exeter 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 Project Management team in Exeter, and we want someone with a 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, including:
* Commercial
* Residential
* Education
* Heritage
* Public and private sector schemes
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.
