Adrian’s and Rebecca’s interpretations (below) are correct. “Savvy” is slang, essentially meaning “knowledgeable”. To take Adrian’s example, “tech savvy” would suggest someone who is very capable at using computers, for example, or quick to master new technologies and equipment.
 
Example:
 
<em>I got my dad a mobile phone, but he has never used it. He isn’t very </em><em>tech savvy</em><em>.</em>
 
The term derives from the French verb <em>savoir</em> (to know).
 
It is not really appropriate in combination with “time” as being “knowledgeable” about time is rather nonsensical, but this might be considered as fashionable corporate “business speak” along with other terms – often irritating to English speakers – such as “leveraging a mind set”, “blue-sky thinking” and “human resources”, (which used to be called the “personnel department”).

I've not heard the expression as such, but 'savvy' is a slang word for 'knowledgeable about', 'familiar with' e.g. computer-savvy, tech-savvy. I guess that 'time-savvy' means 'aware of the importance of time' in this context.

Time savvy means you are good at keeping up with time. I.e. knowing how to manage your time well. And maybe you are very organised and keep a good schedule to do so.

Weird phrase that I have never heard but if I had to guess I would say, especially if your translating a resume, that the person is trying to say they are punctual.

could be <em>time-saving</em>? something that uses less time than usually.
would be better if you provided us with whole sentence
