Skanska has tapped a company veteran to lead its U.S. construction operations in Oregon and southwest Washington, the Sweden-based firm announced Monday.
Trevor Wyckoff has taken the reins as executive vice president and general manager of the region. He has spent his entire 24-year career with Skanska, according to the release, starting as an intern.
In the new position, Wyckoff will lead the development and implementation of Skanska’s Oregon business plan, driving strategic growth across the state.
“Skanska has been my home for nearly 25 years and as someone who began my career here as an intern, I can’t think of a more exciting job than leading this office into the future,” Wyckoff said in the statement. “We have a great team here in Oregon and as I take on this new role, I look forward to helping us grow and creating new opportunities for our organization.”
A native of Portland, Oregon, Wyckoff graduated from Washington State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in construction management. He joined Skanska’s Portland office as an intern in 1998, before the company brought him on full-time as a project engineer two years later.
Since then, he has managed projects in Oregon, Arizona, California and Washington. He is also an active member of Skanska’s Health Advisory Board and National Operations Leadership Council, according to the release.
Most recently, he served as Skanska’s senior vice president and account manager in Portland, leading projects in the healthcare, education and commercial sectors.
Projects Wycoff has managed include an inpatient addition at Oregon Health & Science University, a modernization at Beaverton High School, an addition at Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital and a campus expansion at the Center for Deaf and Hard School of Hearing School, according to an email shared with Construction.

“Trevor brings a wealth of both operational and strategic experience to his new role,” Jim Link, regional executive officer for Skanska USA Building, said in the statement. “Throughout his career, he has consistently demonstrated that he is a strong communicator and partner, qualities that will serve him well as he steps into this leadership role.”
