Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was given a list of jobs for me to complete during my internship at the beginning so I would work through them. Then some days I would be asked to complete other tasks and add them to my list of jobs. I would do site-finding, research and due diligence primarily.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I think I was given the perfect amount of responsibility. My outputs were checked by the employees who set me the task and then sent on to a client as an output for instance.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes, one of the employees taught me how to use QGIS very early on and by the end of the internship I feel confident using the software to present data on a map. Secondly, I have learnt a lot about the energy industry, for example about the new technologies and how valuations differ from other parts of the property industry. Finally I have learnt some new functions on excel which will be invaluable in an line of work I go into.
