The 24-month program consists of three rotations (each lasting 6-9 months) in core business areas such as Office/Field Engineering, Preconstruction/Estimating, and Project/Cost Controls. Upon completion of the rotations, the employee will be assigned to a position that best matches their strengths and Skanska’s needs.
