Graduate Rural Surveyor Review

No day is the same in surveying at Savills. As a graduate apprentice, you get involved in multiple projects from diversification, maintenance, client meetings and tenancy agreements.

The role has improved my communication skills as from day one you are interacting with clients and contractors solving potential issues. It has also developed my ability to solve problems.

The scheme has been very enjoyable. The team are very welcoming and a significant effort has been made to make sure graduates can meet each other despite the pandemic. Everyday is different which makes the job and scheme exciting.

The apprenticeship is well organised. You receive 20% off the job training which gives you the time to structure your study around work.

The help from my employer is superior. Working with some of the best professionals in the industry means there is always an opportunity to learn.

The training provider arranges calls between myself and a mentor to keep track of my progress. Forums are also available so there can still be discussion between students despite the course being online.

There is a large cross over between the university course and work. I am inputting things I learn at university on a day to day basis, this knowledge is further built upon by discussions within my team.

The team have been incredibly welcoming and there have been multiple opportunities to get to know everyone from lunches to other events.

Yes

I would recommend Savills as you get first-hand experience from the very start of the graduate scheme. Working alongside industry experts and becoming involved in projects helps to build your knowledge.

Be enthusiastic.
