When I execute this query it tells me that I am missing something by the '(' and the 'SELECT' statement. I am fairly new to Teradata and SQL so any response is greatly appreciated.

Teradata SQL stil not supports Scalar Subqueries (= Select within the column list), you usually have to rewrite it using Outer Joins or OLAP functions:

In your case it's:

     SELECT A1.OFFICE, SUM(A1.HOURS) AS HOURS,
     SUM(A1.HOURS) / sumHours AS HRSPCT
     FROM TABLE AS A1,
     (SELECT SUM(A2.HOURS) as sumHours FROM TABLE AS A2)
     WHERE A1.OFFICE LIKE 'AD%'
     GROUP BY A1.OFFICE;

     SELECT A1.OFFICE, SUM(A1.HOURS) AS HOURS,
     SUM(A1.HOURS) / (SUM(SUM(A1.HOURS)) over ()) AS HRSPCT
     FROM TABLE AS A1
     GROUP BY A1.OFFICE
     qualify A1.OFFICE LIKE 'AD%'
     ;
