Engleking, a 28-year Skanska veteran, returns to the Portland office as Vice President, Account Manager, after serving as Project Executive in the company’s Seattle, Washington, office. He began his Skanska career in the Portland office in 1996 and led many projects before moving to Seattle in 2000.
“Returning to the Portland office in this new role allows me to focus on what matters most: our clients success,” Engleking said. “This area is a special place, and I’m excited to partner with our clients and teams on landmark projects that make it an even better place to call home.”
Engleking has successfully managed complex projects for several clients throughout his three-decade career. He has a hands-on approach and an ability to coach high-performing teams.
Richardson has been with Skanska for the past decade and has nearly 20 years of industry experience. He has led some of the firm’s most significant preconstruction efforts, including projects for Oregon Health & Science University, Portland International Airport, Redmond Airport, and Portland Public Schools.

“Preconstruction is where we have the greatest opportunity to influence a project’s outcome,” Richardson said. “By getting involved early, we’re able to work closely with clients to define priorities, align budgets with design, and build a clear roadmap for execution. My focus is on ensuring every project starts with the right information, strategies, and partnerships to deliver lasting value.”
Richardson has a collaborative approach and the ability to build strong relationships with clients, as well as design and trade partners. His leadership in lean construction practices, including target value delivery and the Last Planner System, has helped teams deliver projects.
