We believe in engaging forces and collective intelligence – that different competencies and perspectives lead to a better final outcome. Therefore, diversity is an asset. We drive extensive gender and diversity work to create an even more inclusive work environment and culture that values people's differences. We build with heart. Veidekke is Scandinavia's fourth largest construction and infrastructure company with a total turnover of approx. 43 billion NOK. In Sweden, we have approx. 2,200 employees and a turnover of approx. 15.1 billion NOK (2023).
