Savills

Surveying

Savills offers a range of opportunities for graduates looking to pursue careers as chartered surveyors specialising in development, commercial and residential property.

Graduates will either be part of our London rotation programme, or offered a bespoke role in one of our regional offices. Whilst working and gaining experience, graduates will progress towards membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) by completing the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).

We also offer opportunities for graduates to work as residential trainees within our estate agency offices. Vacancies for these roles are advertised individually on Savills careers.

Operational capital markets

A day in the life of property management is so varied. If not out inspecting properties across the South East, I may find myself drawing up service charge budgets, liaising with tenants and contractors or attending client meetings to discuss the strategies for their portfolios and aligning these to my management approach. I was surprised at how technical business space management was. It’s not about liaising with tenants on broken light bulbs or windows, but taking a pro-active approach to improving the occupational experience for the tenants, which in turn keeps our clients happy. I’ve been grateful to be given so much responsibility and in the last 4 months alone I’ve managed 2 refurbishment projects, negotiated leases and implemented several new budgets directly with clients. )

So, I get into the office at about 8am, check my emails and answer  any which have come in overnight. I then get myself ready for the day and print off any information I will need for any meetings or appointments that day. I then plan my day according to what is time sensitive and tackle the most urgent tasks first so they can be checked over by directors in good time. I am in the agency team at the moment so I am out of the office a lot on viewings so being organised is key, as you need to make sure that when you are in the office you know exactly what tasks you need to do. Other tasks invariably come in throughout the day and then it’s a case of juggling again in order to ensure that everything is finished in good time and to a high standard.
