At Skanska, we’re shaping the way we live, work and connect.

As one of the world’s largest construction and development companies, we work together with customers, communities and partners to shape a better society.


For over a century, Cementation Skanska has been a trusted leader in piling and ground engineering.

Our breadth of expertise spans every aspect of geotechnical engineering - from micro-piling to diaphragm walls - enabling us to deliver innovative solutions for the most complex challenges.

You will be working in the Cementation OU based in London.

In this role, you will be responsible for leading projects with Cementation Skanska, where over 100 years of foundation knowledge underpins safe, efficient delivery across transport, energy and urban developments.


We are currently looking for a Construction Manager.

This individual will play a key role in overseeing and coordinating our piling and ground engineering construction activities across Cementation Skanska, ensuring efficient and successful project execution to the highest standards of safety, quality, and client satisfaction whilst delivering to budget and programme requirements.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
