Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved going on site inspections, producing schedule of dilapidations, schedule of works, reading through lease documents, produced law contracts, and specification sheets. I had discussions with work colleagues and professionals, asking questions, and taking notes.
Used Auto CAD to measure the roof areas of a site that I had previously visited. I also edited discrepancies of an existing site to ensure the layout matched what I inspected.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a good amount of work to complete for different work colleagues.
