Summer Scheme Student Review

I worked within the Business Space Property Management division. Overall, I have really enjoyed this placement, as I have been involved in completing a range of different tasks. Some of these tasks include reconciliation reports, completing WorkFlows, and analysing leases to help assist the landlord or occupier if there is an issue. Furthermore, I have also visited sites that Savills manages, along with gaining exposure to the facilities managers and the team on site.

I have learned new skills, such as how to complete a work flow report and how to build a reconciliation report to tailor it to the client's needs. I have further developed my skills in Excel and analysing leases. I further gained exposure into pitching presentation and a submission report.

I was given the responsibility of analysing a lease, which was then used as supporting evidence to help answer the issue the landlord or occupier had with that building. Moreover, completing work flows and Excel spreadsheets with useful information for the team also highlights the responsibility I had over the course of my internship. I was also tasked with building a reconciliation report, as well as updating details of that report.

I received a wide range of support and guidance during my internship from my mentor, directors, and the whole Business Space Property Management team to ensure all my questions were answered.

The company culture was extremely supportive and encouraging during my internship, ensuring I am included in work in the office as well as social events within the team.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my internship, and it has exceeded my expectations. I have learned so many new skills and have further developed existing ones. My confidence has also grown over my time within the team, while also consolidating my passion for real estate.

I would advise them to learn about the company's standards and prospects for the future to ensure they understand the company prior to working for them. I would also advise that they keep updated with Savills news. Furthermore, during AC's and interviews, make sure to be passionate about your role, and don't forget to be yourself!
