A major UK-based construction company has revealed plans to create up to 1,500 jobs around the country, in order to meet the increased demand brought about by all the new contracts it has managed to win.

Building giant Skanska will need the extra workforce in order to complete major rail, water, building and roads contracts won by the company and is looking forward to a period of planned growth and expansion. To fuel this growth, Skanska will be increasing its workforce in a range of sectors, a recent news report in the business media has revealed.
