I am Professor of Built Environment Education and Academic Registrar at LJMU. I was previously Subject Leader in the School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment with responsibility for Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Construction Management, Architectural Technology, Real Estate, Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying and acted as Director of School from September 2019-August 2021. I have worked in academia for 28 years and was previously employed in the
construction industry as a site manager. After graduating with BSc(Hons) Building in 1988 I subsequently completed a
Masters of Education at the University of Manchester in 1997, followed by a PhD at LJMU in 2008. I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building, Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, Chartered Environmentalist, Fellow of the Leadership Foundation and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I have co-authored a number of books on Construction Technology and have published extensively in the area of Sustainability in Construction Education. I am currently on the supervision teams for a number of PhD students whose topics range from construction pedagogy to the design of a decision making aid for the selection of renewable/sustainable energy systems for buildings. I am External Examiner at a number of HEIs and a member of the Chartered Institute of Building accreditation panel which reviews and accredits Construction Management programmes in the UK and internationally.
