Requirements

It takes a diverse range of talented individuals with the right skills, strengths and approaches to life to make Skanska successful. Here are some of the key attributes that we’re seeking in new team members:

Problem-solving mindset

We’re helping to shape the structures of tomorrow. That takes ingenuity, new ways of thinking, the ability to test and evaluate, and a willingness to constantly try out new ways of doing things. We’re always looking to extend our teams with more creative thinkers and problem-solvers.   

Inclusive caring approach

We’re not just a construction business, we’re a people business. At the end of the day, we work together with people and we develop and build for people. We want to work with team players who understand why it’s important to always consider the best interests of others.   

Impact

From the big actions we undertake through to the small but important decisions we take, everything we do is about empowering and improving the well-being of the communities and people we build for. We’re looking for individuals who want to make a real impact both today and beyond our lifetimes.   

A curious mindset

Being a big, international company opens multiple doors for our people. We’re looking for individuals who thrive in a world of opportunities – who want to do more of what they like or maybe to do something new.
