Associate Professor in Project and Safety Innovations

Nnedinma is an internationally recognised and established authority in occupational health and safety, regulatory innovation, and project management. His work has influenced academic discourse, professional practice, and public engagement across multiple continents, with a particular focus on enhancing safety, health, and well-being in occupational settings and improving project delivery—especially within construction and engineering.

Nnedinma has authored over 100 research outputs, including publications in high-impact journals such as Elsevier Safety Science (Q1), book chapters, and international conference proceedings like CIB W099. He is the first or sole author on more than 50 of these works. His research has attracted funding from organisations including the British Council, British Academy, and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, and he is a full member of peer review colleges such as EPSRC, ESRC, ARC, and the British Council.

He holds several editorial positions, including associate editor for Management, Procurement and Law (Emerald Publishing), academic editor for Depression and Anxiety (Q1, IF 7.4), and guest editor for journals such as the International Journal of Construction Management. As editor-in-chief, he led a global collaboration of 53 authors to produce the Handbook of Drivers of Continuous Improvement in Construction Health and Safety (Taylor & Francis), a pioneering work that leverages best practices to improve safety and well-being in construction. He regularly reviews for over 11 high-ranking journals and major conferences, including Construction Management and Economics, Architectural Engineering and Design Management, and CIB W099 and W123. He is also a member of CIB W078 (Information Technology for Construction) and CIB W099 (Safety, Health and Wellbeing in Construction).

Nnedinma’s public engagement is global and impactful. He has delivered CPDs and keynote talks at major events, including serving as a featured expert in an IOSH Global webinar and as a keynote speaker at two African Research Universities Alliance Conference series. He previously served as a STEM Ambassador, promoting careers in construction and the built environment, and is a member of the Health in Construction Leadership Group UK.

He has held academic positions at Liverpool John Moores University, University of East London, University College of Estate Management (UCEM), and Kingston University, where he was Senior Lecturer in Construction Law and Course Leader for undergraduate programmes. He has also held consultancy and industry roles in the UK and abroad, most recently as a Health and Safety Manager. Dr Umeokafor has served as an external examiner for PhD and MSc research projects and academic programmes in the UK and internationally, including institutions in Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies.

His professional affiliations include Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), Fellow of the Association for Project Management (FAPM), Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB), and Certified Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CertIOSH). He mentors CIOB chartership applicants and served as Secretary of the IOSH London Metropolitan Construction Section. His contributions have been recognised through multiple awards, including the Taylor & Francis Outstanding Monograph Award, CIB W099 Bursary Award, UCEM Principal’s Development Award, and Best Paper Award at the 9th World Construction Symposium in Sri Lanka.

Nnedinma holds a PhD focused on complex regulatory systems in construction health and safety and their contextual influences. His academic qualifications also include an MSc in Project Management (sustainable behaviour dissertation), an MSc in Quantity Surveying and Commercial Management (digital technologies in infrastructure development dissertation), a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), and the NCRQ/AIM Level 6 Diploma in Applied Health and Safety (Dip NCRQ)
