Construction and development firm Skanska announced the promotion of Ben Johnson to vice president — account manager for Skanska USA Building in North Texas.
As a leader in Texas's construction sector, Johnson will play a pivotal role in delivering innovative, community-shaping projects that support the region's rapid growth across key market sectors, Skanska said in a news release.
Johnson joins the North Texas market after nearly 13 years with Skanska in Houston, where he established himself as a trusted leader with broad expertise spanning commercial office, light industrial, health care and higher education.
Building on his most recent role as project executive, he will focus on expanding Skanska's project pipeline, deepening client relationships, and ensuring the successful delivery of major projects across the region.
"Ben is a leader who garners respect from clients and his teams," said Dennis Yung, executive vice president and general manager for Skanska USA Building in Texas. "Clients appreciate the environment he creates — one where teams can truly thrive — and what stands out most is the humility with which he leads. He is a true servant leader who will not ask anyone to do anything he hasn't done or isn't willing to do himself. Ben is a strong steward of Skanska's values, and he has always been willing to go where the opportunity is."
Johnson's career accomplishments include leadership roles on notable Houston projects such as the Norton Rose Fulbright Tower and the Bank of America Tower downtown. He also oversaw project delivery for Texas A&M University's Mays Business School Wayne Roberts '85 Building and Harris County's Central Pharmacy, scheduled for completion toward the end of 2026.
He began his career with Skanska as a project engineer, progressing through roles including assistant project manager, project manager, senior project manager and project executive. Johnson holds a bachelor's degree in construction management from the University of Louisiana Monroe.
