Project Management Intern Review

My role was to assist anyone I could, whether it be dilapidations, schedule of conditions, meeting minutes, report structuring, etc. I also had the privilege to accompany some of the team on site visits for schedule of conditions and progress meetings. We would return from these and I would assist in any capacity.

The role has definitely made me more aware of the importance of time management skills when it comes to report writing and working to a deadline. The art of communication has been evident. Being able to pick up the phone and speak to clients is of great importance. This internship has definitely improved my communication skills. I believe I work well in a team but this internship helped further develop this as teamwork is of great importance to ensure we succeed.

In the beginning, I was given responsibility to cost check and assist on dilapidations. Later on, I was given the chance to write my own schedule of condition for a client while working to a deadline, which tested my time management but also to show myself I could deal with responsibility.

The team as a whole assisted me in every possible way, whether that be with the reports or general guidance with future ambitions of mine. If I required any assistance or guidance someone would help at a drop of a hat.

The company has a strong reputation for culture and inclusivity. They have a strong pledge to ingrain inclusivity into every aspect of their culture, displayed through their charitable initiatives. There is such a positive atmosphere in the workplace, where there is a strong combination of hard working mentalities but a laid back social vibrancy. They truly follow their branding of ‘better never settles’.

I thoroughly enjoyed the internship and the overall culture. From the desk to the socials, I enjoyed every step of my journey.

Yes

I would definitely suggest to be yourself and be confident. Accept your mistakes and be honest and someone can help remedy it. Also, make sure to ask loads of questions to boost your knowledge and to improve your communication skills. Finally, be hardworking and throw yourself into any challenge.
