The index counts seats, not titles or links: the roles themselves are on Skanska's own careers pages.

Senior moves, last six months

Named executive appointments reported in the UK construction trade press and the UK regional business press, each counted once, on the date of its first report, and linked to the report it was counted from. Non-executive, board and chair appointments are left out.

Reported	Name	New role	New employer	Source

Many senior moves are never announced, and a report names the previous employer about one time in four, so departures are undercounted.

Contract awards, last twelve months

Awarded	Buyer	Published value	Notice
30 July 2026	The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust	£767m	Notice
30 July 2026	James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust	£805m	Notice

Values are as the buyer published them, and are the ceiling of the contract rather than money spent.

Major programmes

What this means for a leader

For a leader considering Skanska, the advertised seats, most of them in commercial, show where the business is adding leadership now. An advert is a decision already made, so it is worth asking whether a seat is new or a replacement, and what the first year in it is expected to deliver.
