GARETHLLOYDAn experienced project manager with a proven record of strategic level leadership of large and complex projects and programmes including board membership and team management.

With 12 years’ experience in construction projects I have specialised in technically complex and heavily regulated sectors including science, healthcare and computing data.

Focused on the strategic intent, I am able to lead and take difficult decisions to ensure project and programme success. My focus is always on realising business benefits and I have led across the entire programme lifecycle from business need to completion.

A clear and effective communicator with strong leadership qualities developed by a Henley Business School MBA, 6 years as a Royal Engineer Officer in the British Army and 10 years’ experience in consulting. Very comfortable either working independently or as part of a team.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY2006 - 2014THE PIRBRIGHT INSTITUTE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME JAN 2011 - PRESENT (4 YEARS)

Construction Programme manager (1.5 years)With a significant degree of autonomy from the Project Director and Senior Responsible Owner I lead a successful programme of 5 construction based projects. The programme totalled over £250m worth of investment including Development Project 1 (see example below), a containment level 4 laboratory (£90m), containment level 2 Laboratory (£20m), utility infrastructure (£10m) and a master planning application (£5m).

My leadership style engendered a culture of professional cooperation and mutual collaboration with the consultants and contractors I managed.

full lifecycle programme• Established a programme management office of 20+ staff• Set up effective communications with funding organisations (including central

Government) on progress and ongoing programme viability.

Example project: DP1 Project Sponsor (3 years)As client project sponsor and board member for a £135m construction project I was responsible full time for the delivery of the project. The project was completed 1 week ahead of the 3.5 year schedule and £2m under budget. My contribution focused on strong collaborative leadership, excellent technical understanding and an unswerving commitment to delivery. The facility was opened by Vince Cable MP (Minister for BIS) on the 31 October 2014 and was presented the Construction Industry Judges Award 2014.

(£600m)I led the user requirements workstream for the design and procurement phase. This involved orchestrating the design team and the three user organisations to align affordable requirements and deliver signed off employer’s requirements for contract. I also led the procurement of consultants under the public procurement regulations.

The options included both new-build and refurbishment schemes. I instigated a number of inventive studies to mitigate project risk due to novel technical solutions. I delivered under significant time and budget pressures that required me to keep track of both the strategic intent of the programme and the detailed design solution.
