Chris Gould

I studied at Liverpool John Moore’s University for the first 2 years of my Building Surveying Degree course, before completing my degree on a Part-time basis at the University of Central Lancashire, whilst working in practice. I was also fortunate enough to complete a month-long Sustainability module at the University of Malaya, in Malaysia. As a result I am keen to encourage talent into the industry via alterative pathways having experienced different circumstances myself.

I have 10 years’ experience in the construction industry and have worked as both a consultant and client side Project Manager. Having spent much of my career as a Capital Project Manager in Aviation, I’ve successfully delivered a variety of complex projects within challenging, high-security environments. Managing multi discipline project teams across a vast array of project types, including new build offices & refurbishments, retail, and airside civil works. Having recently joined Hive as a Senior Project Manager, I bring more recent experience in the Social Housing sector, Public Sector Decarbonisation & complex Master planning.

I have a particular passion for contributing to the growth and improvement of my home city, Liverpool. Taking pride in the role I played in the recent application approval for Central Dock Neighbourhood, at the heart of Peel L&P’s Liverpool Waters Masterplan. The recent approval of this application will enable essential infrastructure that will support the delivery of approximately 2,350 homes, as well as a 2 Hectare Central Park. A real catalyst for further development of our waterfront. Being able to be a part of advancements and the success within the Liverpool City Region is important to me.
