Full job descriptionDescription and requirementsAt 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.
The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects.
