Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at CBRE Group?
Great onboarding experience, thoroughly enjoyed the week away in London to meet colleagues from other offices and pathways.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I have enjoyed the range of projects I can be involved in as in the planning team we don't just specialise in one type of planning. Main responsibilities have grown over the last year, but typically include writing planning statements (or other reports), reviewing technical reports, supporting new graduates who have since started.
