Additionally in Oakland, Skanska has promoted Jeff Robinson to vice president, project executive. With more than 30 years’ experience, three with Skanska, his career has included work on hundreds of millions of dollars in projects, ranging from large-scale aviation and education projects to smaller special projects and commercial interiors. Robinson provides continuity from preconstruction through the entire construction phase, taking an active role in key milestone events in the preconstruction phase to include partnering, GMP development, value engineering, constructability and schedule reviews. Jeff will ensure that owners’ expectations, budgetary and profitability objectives are exceeded.

Brett Curry has also been hired as vice president, project executive in Skanska’s Los Angeles office. Curry brings more than 35 years of industry experience with a particular focus on higher education construction. His knowledge of customer and stakeholder needs helps align his project teams with clients to deliver the structures they are depending on.

“Growth in California is putting a spotlight on the need for new facilities and renovations,” said Skanska USA Building Chief Operating Officer Len Vetrone. “Customers need the right partners to realize the visions they desire for their project outcomes. Jeff, Chuck and Brett have proven through the years to be key partners and will help us cultivate our customer-focused culture even more.”
