Property Associate

"I'm glad to be part of MTR as the rotations to various areas in Property Division give me the opportunity to be exposed to every part of the Division. In each of my postings, I play a completely different role and this uniqueness keeps the interest-level high. I have broadened my knowledge not only through intensive training but also involvement in new projects, for instance, the grand opening of Hong Kong's first and largest horizontal luxury mall ¡V Elements ¡V where I have every chance to be exposed to a myriad of pillar retail businesses to further develop my potential. With each new posting comes new challenges and opportunities. However, I never feel alone as colleagues and seniors are always helpful and available should I need any advice or guidance."
