We thrive through embracing differences, whether they be social backgrounds, ethnicity, disability, gender, age, religion, sexuality and any other protected characteristic – we know that diversity opens a rich potential for new ways of thinking, helping us to build successful and winning teams. We call it Naturally Skanska.

Personal Qualities :

Who you are:

  • Happy to work outdoors in all weathers.

  • A good team player.

  • Have a degree of work-readiness, including punctuality, an understanding of safety in the workplace, and willingness to adhere to rules and regulations.



Skills Required :

A career with us means you’ll have the freedom to develop your skills and leave your mark on the communities in which we work. Our competitive benefits package will help to enhance your life outside work, too.
