He served as Director of the Kaunas District Municipality Administration from 2019 until 2024.
When appointed Kaunas District Administration Director in 2019, Šukevičius was noted as the youngest person in Lithuania to hold a municipal administration director’s post, being only 34 years old at the time.
Between 2015 and 2019, he was the Deputy Director of the Kaunas District Municipality Administration.
Kaunas District Mayor Valerijus Makūnas brought Šukevičius into the municipal executive team – after the 2015 local elections Makūnas offered him the post of Administration Deputy Director (instead of taking a council seat), and after 2019 Šukevičius became Administration Director under Makūnas’s leadership.
He served as the elder of Karmėlava (Kaunas District) from 2011 until 2015.
From 2008 to 2011, Šukevičius worked as a chief specialist in the Economic Department of the Kaunas District Municipality Administration.

Šukevičius has been a Member of the Seimas (Lithuanian Parliament) since November 14, 2024.
He has been a member of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) since 2012.

The Garliava single-member constituency (No. 66) was newly formed ahead of the 2024 elections due to population growth in Kaunas District’s southern part – by 2025, the number of voters in Garliava had increased by over 1,300 compared to two years earlier.
In the 2024 parliamentary elections, he won the Garliava single-member constituency with 58.17% of the vote, defeating TS-LKD candidate Justinas Urbanavičius in the runoff.
He entered the Seimas by winning the Garliava single-member constituency (No. 66) in the 2024 elections, rather than through the LSDP’s national party list.
In the first round of the 2024 parliamentary elections, Šukevičius placed second in the Garliava single-member constituency, securing 20.68% of the vote (TS-LKD candidate Justinas Urbanavičius led with 27.84%), before later winning in the runoff.
Šukevičius was ranked 31st on the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party’s national candidate list in the 2024 Seimas elections.
Šukevičius did not run in the 2020 parliamentary elections – at that time the LSDP’s candidate in the Garliava constituency was Paulius Visockas (who lost to TS-LKD’s Justinas Urbanavičius) – making the 2024 Seimas race Šukevičius’s first bid for a parliamentary seat.
He was elected to the Kaunas District Municipal Council in 2015 and 2019, but on both occasions he declined the council mandate to continue serving in the municipal administration.

He is listed as the director of a private company "Chonas, UAB," a metalworking firm based in Vilnius that employs about 12 people.
In 2025, he publicly backed the creation of a State Road Fund to fix long-neglected road problems, saying that potholes and crumbling roads had essentially become Lithuania’s “calling card.”
In an October 2024 interview during the election campaign, Šukevičius criticized the government’s rushed public service reforms, saying that after recent changes the word "reform" had become almost a curse word in Lithuania and warning against unprepared decisions that "experiment with people’s future, health, and safety."
As of late 2025, Šukevičius had not publicly declared any meetings with registered lobbyists or interest groups in the official transparency register for MPs.
