Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a Summer Scheme student, you will gain experience across a wider variety of different service lines and skills. One day you could be out helping on energy audits on managed sites, the next undertaking research to support a Director’s strategic advice on low carbon energy infrastructure of national importance. The breadth of experience that Savills Summer Scheme students obtain is vast as you are exposed to the technical, commercial and practical aspects of project delivery in the energy and real estate sectors.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Moderate workload. This is because the summer scheme has only 4 weeks and the projects will be ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Hence, it's more of understanding what the team are working.
