Overview of Role

Surveyor in the infrastructure and utilities division. Managing the land liaison for large utility firms, allowing them to access the land required to carry out their works. Day to day work differs, some days are spent in the office and some days are spent out on site. Placement students are given significant responsibility and take the lead on projects, as well as working within a team on larger projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, placement students are given responsibility to lead projects independently, but can always ask for help and advice where needed.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Fisher German to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Fisher German
Even if you are from a non-cognate degree background (not RICS accredited) you should definitely consider a career in Surveying/ Real Estate. I found that the application process was really accessible compared to other placements, and relies just on an in person interview after submitting your cover letter / CV. They really just want to get to know you as a person, to see if you would be a good fit.
