Think differently about construction - think Skanska

Scandinavian flair with the best traditions of British engineering.

Skanska UK is part of Skanska, one of the world's leading construction groups with expertise in construction, project development of commercial and residential projects and public private partnerships. Skanska makes a real difference to the way construction is delivered, by combining skills and expertise and working closely with their clients, partners and the community.

Real values

Everything that Skanska does is governed by their Code of Conduct which sets out the responsibilities to the countries, communities and environments in which Skanska operates, to its employees, business partners and to society in general.

Skanska’s success has led to numerous awards for both the technical quality of our work, but more importantly how Skanska approach our work. This includes being ranked Fourth Best Green Company in the UK by The Sunday Times in 2009.

A high-profile business

Skanska's projects include some of the biggest and most prestigious in the UK.

From the regeneration of the Ministry of Defence's HQ, London's landmark (the Swiss Re building at 30, St. Mary's Axe, known as ‘The Gherkin’), the new 46 storey Heron Tower in the City of London, widening the M25 (the biggest highway project in Europe), DLR, through to the re-development of the Barts and Royal London Hospitals, Derby Hospital, Walsall Manor Hospital and the first Schools as part of the Building Schools for the future programme, in Bristol, Skanska remains at the forefront of the industry in the UK.

Living up to our responsibilities

According to their Code of Conduct, it is Skanska's key responsibility to develop and maintain an economically sound and prosperous business. Skanska, as a business with a long history and future, assumes its responsibilities. These include responsibilities towards the countries, communities and environments in which they operate, towards our employees and business partners and towards society in general.

People

Skanska says that their success is achieved through our people. They do believe in having a diverse workforce and providing equal opportunities for everyone. They understand that everyone is different and people can learn from each other to achieve real success.

Skanska Graduates

Graduates at Skanska get support and opportunity in equal measure. On-the-job responsibility is combined with support with personal and professional development.

They also participate in a development programme to help develop key skills and behaviours which will support their career progression. That is only the beginning to what we hope is a successful career in Skanska that could potentially include opportunities to work outside the UK.
