Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I'm in the dilapidations team. I assist chartered building surveyors with inspections and the subsequent report production. My role varies from taking notes on site, measurements and writing up the report. I also am involved with project management, acting as an assistant contract administrator.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I've been happy with the responsibility given. I get pushed to try and do things myself which is great for learning, but my work is always checked by someone qualified.
