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.

Our Infrastructure team

Brings design, build and refurbishment excellence to complex civil engineering projects nationwide - combining technical expertise with a passion for creating lasting value for people and places.

We are currently looking for a Senior Engineer

Who will be responsible for the technical and commercial delivery of drainage and civil infrastructure design projects for both external clients and Skanska’s internal delivery teams. You will develop robust, buildable and sustainable design solutions while providing technical leadership across the project lifecycle. As part of Skanska, you’ll also have the opportunity to support construction teams, influence buildability decisions and see your designs realised on major infrastructure developments, while delivering standalone consultancy commissions for a diverse client base.

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.
