Overview
Working on helping clients complete their BREEAM in-use accreditations by collating evidence and data that will help with their assessments. Additionally, conducting site visits for ISO14001 audits.
Skills
I have developed my data analysis skills through the use of excel and my personable skills when managing clients in a consultative environment.
Responsibilities
I was responsible for completing a large part of assessments for individual clients and uploading evidence onto the official BREEAM portal.
Support & Guidance
I had a huge amount of support and guidance from the friendly sustainability team in Manchester and even the London consultants were extremely helpful.
Culture
It was never a highly pressurised or cut-throat environment. Everyone is very willing to collaborate and help each other. Savills is definitely a forward thinking company.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it because the team were amazing, and it definitely gave me a great insight into the corporate environment and how sustainability is tackled in that space. I enjoyed the opportunities to get out of the office and do external site visits and to meet other members of the team.
Yes
Make sure you keep up to date with world news and apply it in your application - you need to be able to explain where Savills sits in the changing world.
