Skanska announced key leadership changes within its U.S.A. building operations' preconstruction services team.

Robert Luckey will transition out of his role of senior vice president and regional director of preconstruction as he prepares for retirement. Luckey is succeeded by John Tamborino who will be promoted to senior vice president, preconstruction and lead the day-to-day preconstruction operations in New York.

In addition, Pratod Padalkar will elevate to vice president, preconstruction. To complete this restructuring, Will Senner will step into the role of regional preconstruction senior vice president of the New York Metro and Mid-Atlantic regions.

"We are incredibly grateful for the leadership and expertise that Bob has imparted on Skanska USA building during his seasoned tenure," said Steve Stouthamer, executive vice president, project planning, Skanska USA Building. "Bob has made a big impact on our business and will continue to support our work in the months ahead. While Bob's transition towards retirement will be bittersweet, I am confident and excited to see John, Pratod and Will excel in their new roles, continuing to uphold Skanska's steadfast commitment to exceptional preconstruction services and quality."

Tamborino holds more than 40 years of industry experience and has been with Skanska USA Building Metro New York office since 2010, most recently serving as vice president, preconstruction. Playing a key role in growing the firm's preconstruction services work in the healthcare sector, Tamborino successfully led key projects in New York and New Jersey, including the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Master Plan, North Shore University Hospital's Petrocelli Surgical Pavilion and RWJBarnabas Health ACC Cancer Center.

Padalkar joined Skanska USA Building in 1999 and has overseen several technically complex projects in the life sciences, higher education, health care, cultural and commercial sectors in the New York Metro region. As senior director of preconstruction, Padalkar's project portfolio includes Princeton University's Class of 1986 Fitness and Wellness Center, and New York City Economic Development Corporation's Public Health Laboratory.

Senner joined Skanska USA Building in 2006 and has since held a series of engineering, project management and leadership roles within the preconstruction services team and is based in Skanska's Raleigh, N.C., office. Most recently, he served as vice president of preconstruction of the Mid-Atlantic region.

In addition, Senner oversees the data solutions team, guiding the business unit's data strategy and partnering with stakeholders to unlock insights that drive efficiencies, improve project quality and enhance client value.
