Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I work with landowners and our client to conduct overhead powerline rebuilds. This involves negotiating with landowners, carrying out surveys, working with the client to ensure we get the best outcome for them and submitting planning applications
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I enjoy my work to a high extent, however the university course I am on is not relevant to my job which I have found to be hard to navigate.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
During my time with Savills I have learned many new computer skills, I have gained a lot of confidence when talking to landowners and the client, I have gained so much knowledge on the infrastructure industry and I have developed my critical thinking skills when overcoming any issues.

The course isn't relevant so doesn't help at all really, doing presentations however does help to build my confidence

Yes
