Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day to day role consisted of answering emails and coordinating the successful construction of the new developments. This involved answering questions the contractor may have and going to site to inspect how progress is being made. All of this must then be collated into a report which gets returned to the client and any requests that they may have must then be relayed to the contractor.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
yes a lot and the tasks that I was given were meaningful and benefited the team as well as providing meaningful progress on the projects.

What advice would you give to others applying to Savills
