Degree or masters: 1st year student
Department: Energy
Locations: Edinburgh
Contract: 1 week work experience
Placement date: Monday 3rd - Thursday 6th April 2023
Across the programme, students during the week will undertake placements in our surveying (commercial, development, residential, affordable housing, operational capital markets), rural, building surveying, food & farming, forestry, sustainability, energy, environment and infrastructure and town planning teams.
Our aim is to provide a taste of the work of Savills graduates and show how the property industry works. During a placement we will offer the opportunity to attend virtual departmental talks to learn about other areas of the business, attend social events and meet directors from across Savills.
Savills Insight demonstrates how we work, and what real estate means. It is a valuable chance for students considering property amongst their options for a career, and especially to those who think Savills could be the employer of choice for them. Insight is also a great way to strengthen an application for our summer scheme (open to second year cognate and non-cognate students and third year non-cognate students) and the graduate programme (open to final year students and masters students).
the division
With 80 energy and sustainability consultants operating across a UK network, Savills Energy and Sustainability Hub is quickly developing into the largest zero carbon department in any mainstream real estate practice with a reputation for success and professionalism. Our energy services include, but are not limited to; feasibility studies, energy audits due diligence on proposed and operational sites, valuations of energy assets, transactions of energy assets, negotiating commercial contracts between different parties (Lease Agreements, Energy Supply Agreements, etc) and strategic advice on energy infrastructure.
As an Energy Team within a real estate company our USP is understanding how land and property is used, the value that is attributed to real estate and how low carbon energy solutions can enhance property values to justify investment in net zero solutions. It is often the case that the best engineering solution for energy infrastructure is not the best property solution for the landlord or occupiers. As such, it is within this space that the Savills Energy Team looks to operate in partnership with architects, planners, developers, funders and specialist engineering design firms to find net zero solutions that improve the social aspects of a project and enhance property values.
