Lee Marks is joining Skanska UK next week as Executive Vice President and new leader of the Building business.

He will take over the reins over the next few months from Terry Muckian who will assume executive responsibility at the Infrastructure operations and Cementation Skanska.

Marks’ last major industry role was as COO at facade speciailist Permasteelisa which he left late last year.

Prior to that he held senior roles at NG Bailey, Laing O’Rourke and Galliford Try.

Marks also led failed contractor nmcn in a brief nine-month attempt to turn the business around.

Skanska UK President & CEO Katy Dowding said: “Lee brings more than 35 years’ construction industry experience, including at executive level, combined with a strong desire to join Skanska based on the strength of our brand and values. It’s great to have him on-board.

“Lee is passionate and fully committed to collaborative ways of working, so we can work together to deliver the very best outcomes for customers. We’ll benefit from the new perspectives that Lee will bring to the business and I’m very much looking forward to working with him as a member of our Executive Management Team.”
