Graduate Surveyor Review

I am a rotating graduate surveyor on the Commercial Real Estate pathway. With each rotation, my day-to-day role changes, allowing me to gain insight into different sectors. With each rotation I seek to support the relevant team with key tasks such as data management, market research, and handling client requests.

Yes, I have learnt many new skills particularly those specific to the real estate industry. I have also developed existing, soft skills in communication, time management and team work.

I really enjoy the programme at Savills - throughout the 2.5-year graduate scheme, both my immediate teams and the wider network within the business have and continue to offer outstanding support. There’s always someone I can turn to for guidance when it's needed.

The programme is very well structured - we have regular training days as a cohort and are always able to reach out to our Supervisor/Counsellors for guidance between these days.

I receive an excellent level of support from my employer, both from my immediate teams and from the wider HR/Learning & Development teams within the business. The structured training on the graduate scheme means I always feel supported as I work towards the APC, while the provision of a dedicated study day ensures I am able to keep on top of the part-time Masters.

I receive a lot of support from our training provider and feel very well supported on the part-time Master's programme and in the subsequent lead-up to the APC qualification.

It definitely helps me perform better in my role as a graduate surveyor, by equipping me with the key industry knowledge I need to succeed in supporting my teams as I rotate around the business.

I really enjoy partaking in the company's netball team and attend professional networking events wherever possible.

Yes

The people at Savills are brilliant and the scheme is extremely well structured to ensure your success as a real estate surveyor.

Be yourself, honest about where there are gaps in your knowledge and willing to learn!
