What's it like to be a young professional at Skanska?

Hear from Hanna about what her experience has been like working with Skanska.

Why did you apply to Skanska?

I applied to Skanska because I was looking for a safe yet challenging environment that could offer a lot of different opportunities. A big determining factor for me was to be in a place where environment and health is prioritized.

I’m really proud to play a small part in the company’s significant purpose building for a better society

What have been up to doing your internship / program?

I’ve experienced several different aspects of projects, from planning to production. I’ve participated during concrete castings, the building of walls, as well as meetings with customers where I’ve even had the opportunity to place orders on things that have actually been used in the projects.

A large focus of the program is on self-development and learning more about yourself, as well as the personality traits of your team – aspects of work that I really haven’t considered before.

What learnings will you bring with you?

I’ve been reflecting a lot about how crucial it is for a workplace with so many different people and so many different needs to ensure that everyone feels well at work. So that’s really my take-home message, this idea about how to create a safe and enjoyable working environment. It’s of course easier said than done, but once you’re aware of it, it’s also a whole lot easier to find good solutions for each project.
