Application process

Find out about the application process for graduate, intern, trainee and apprentice roles.

Become a Skanska natural

The journey for all early careers roles begins online with your application, followed by some online assessments and a short interview over the phone or Skype. If you’re successful, we will invite you in for an assessment centre. The process aims to assess your skills and judgement to ensure Skanska is the right move for you and that you fit our values and ethos.

Online application
Enter your details, submit an up-to-date CV, and answer a few of our basic screening questions. The time it takes for us to respond to your application can vary but we aim to respond within one month of the advert closing date.

Online assessments
Online assessments can be daunting. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any worries or feel there could be something stopping you from performing at your best.

  • Apprentices
    Situational judgement assessment: You’ll read scenarios and let us know how you might respond to them.
  • Graduates, interns and trainees
    Psychometric assessments: You’ll complete numerical, verbal or logical assessments dependant on the job you apply to.
Skype or telephone interview
We’ll ask you some motivational and competency based questions. It usually lasts around 15 minutes.
Assessment centre
You’ll be invited to one of our offices where you will complete three different activities. All include a group exercise, individual or paired exercise, and an interview.
Feedback and offer
We’ll let you know the outcome and offer you some feedback after your assessment centre.

Reasonable adjustments

We would like you to perform at your best at every stage of our recruitment process. Please contact us if you require any adjustments that would support you throughout your application.
