The face of Skanska is changing.

A diverse, vibrant new workforce is energizing our company, and we’re transforming the worlds of project development, construction and civil engineering.

Today, there are nearly 60,000 highly skilled individuals working with us. Every person is vital. And as our business expands, so does our need for dynamic, motivated people from all fi elds of study.

The pace is swift. The work is challenging. The chance to join us is right in front of you.

As one of the 500 largest companies in the world, as well as one of the 10 largest construction and engineering fi rms, Skanska can offer you endless opportunities. You can stay close to home and make the most of your education. Or if you’d like to explore working in other areas of our organization, or live in another country, those possibilities also exist.

Actually, almost anything is possible at Skanska.

How far you want to go is up to you.

is 4 kilometers (2.5 miles).

By combining building know-

we were able to complete

“In ten years, I’ve worked and lived in the Czech Repu-blic, the United Kingdom and Sweden – in four different business units. I’ve been able to create my own path. If you’re clear about what you want to do, there are always new opportunities to make things happen at Skanska.”Britta Cesar

“When I fi rst interviewed at Skanska, people said they would support my edu-cation and personal growth. They really meant it. I’ve taken language courses,

professional courses, management courses, and lear-ned about company projects around the world.”

Skanska Unlimited.

After you’ve been at Skanska for a couple

of years, you may be able to gain an entirely

new perspective on the global nature of our

business from a local point of view.

A new international employee exchange

program – Skanska Unlimited – will be laun-

ched in 2008 to provide new opportunities

for you to live and work in another country

for about half a year.

It’s hands-on, on-site experience like this

that will help you develop new competen-

cies and adopt new ways of communicating

and problem-solving through your direct

involvement with a new team of Skanska

colleagues.

Global Trainee Program.

Our Global Trainee Program is designed to

provide new recruits with in-depth know-

ledge of our business, as well as con fi dence

in their abilities.

People chosen for the program rave

about what it’s meant to them professional-

ly and personally. On our website you can

read about their progress and day-to-day

activities. You can also apply to join them

if you think this could be the non-stop-

fun-frustrating-exhilarating-challenging-

rewarding-on-the-job experience you’ve

been looking for.

Opportunities far and wide. We’re looking for talented people to apply their knowledge in engineering, construction management, surveying, business administration, and other areas.

So if you want to make a visible difference as part of something that’s far bigger than one person or project alone, and if you qualify, this may be the place for you.

Nervous about starting your career?

Relax. You’re not alone.

From your fi rst day on the job at Skanska,

you’ll receive support from more experien-

ced colleagues. These are seasoned profes-

sionals who you can turn to for advice

– people who have encountered the same

learning curves you’ll face, and can provide

solid advice on how to solve issues and

work through challenges.

Assume responsibility. Build trust. Earn respect.

Putting our words into action is fundamen-

tal to maintaining the high personal and

professional standards we set at Skanska.

It’s how we work with each other, our

clients, partners and suppliers, and care for

the world we all live in.

The Skanska Code of Conduct establishes

clear direction for each employee through-

out our organization. Our Five Zeroes

program spells out the goals we establish

for the operations of our projects regarding

ethics, safety, quality and environmental re-

sponsibility. It also emphasizes using sound

fi nancial practices to choose the right

projects in order to deliver positive results.

We know that having a great boss is

crucial when starting your career. So we

have initiatives at Skanska to ensure that

managers understand the importance of

developing talent, communicating openly,

providing feedback and always leading

by example.

“In my position, like every-one’s at Skanska, you have to be a good team player. You have to be able to lead and follow at the same time. And you constantly have to embrace new challenges.

It’s a very dy-namic work environment.”

“I’m proud to have worked on the Lakeside Village project in Lakeland, Florida. This project has become a corner stone for the deve-lopment of the community. I was on a trip with local municipal offi cials after it was completed and so-meone asked if anyone had

visited the fa-cility. I stood up and said – I built it!”

Build relationships locally. Lead the industry globally.

In each home market where Skanska is esta-

blished, we follow the same strategic busi-

ness philosophy: Be close to our customers

in order to build confi dence, earn trust and

generate value for our shareholders.

We strive to be a leader in each of our

home markets and core business streams:

Construction, Commercial Development,

Residential Development and Infrastruc-

ture Development.

As a result, we’re known as a company

with the expertise, people and fi nancial

resources needed to deliver successful

projects for our customers worldwide.

A history built on stability. Literally.

Skanska’s rock-solid reputation in construc-

tion and project development can be traced

directly back to the fi rst days of our business

more than a century ago.

In 1887, we opened our doors as a

cement manufacturer and quickly evolved

into a full-fl edged construction company.

Within a decade, we accepted our fi rst

international order. Business fl ourished.

And we’ve continued to grow ever since.

All over the world, we’ve played a key

role in developing infrastructure on a local

level. We’ve built roads, bridges and power

stations, developed residential housing,

commercial building projects and more.

We’re proud of the roles we’ve played in

bringing people closer together and ma-

king their lives more comfortable at home

and work.
