'Buddee'

Career
With over a decade at SHAPE and qualifications in both Civil Engineering and Architecture, Michael brings a rare depth of understanding across design, construction, and delivery. His people-first leadership style, strategic vision, and technical expertise allow him to guide teams seamlessly from ECI through to practical completion, delivering outstanding outcomes for clients and stakeholders.

As General Manager of SHAPE Victoria, Michael is particularly passionate about expanding the capabilities of his Melbourne and Geelong teams as leaders in sustainability and social procurement, strengthening SHAPE’s presence in the education and healthcare sectors, and bolstering preconstruction and new build capabilities.

Life
Michael was born in Thailand, so it should come as no surprise that he adds chilli to everything. When he’s not busy making things happen for SHAPE, you’ll find him walking his dog, Penny, cooking up a storm, or cutting shapes (pun intended) on a dance floor.

Since starting at SHAPE in 2009, Cameron has held several roles, from Site Management to Construction Management and his current role as Operations Manager.

Life

Aiden enjoys understanding clients' risks and collaborating with the estimating team to present cost-effective strategies and value engineering solutions that align with their project goals.

Life
Aiden also has a love of travelling, writing, and music. He believes there is nothing better than camping with the kids in the bush and if there’s no rugby on, he’ll happily barrack for the Hawks!
