The people behind GCSE are more than engineers. Our team is more of a multi-disciplinary brains trust, here to provide practical and strategic advice and cost-effective solutions spanning the structural engineering spectrum.
Meet our multi-disciplinary engineering brains trust and find out more about GCSE our engineering philosophy. Better still, contact our team and experience our unique approach to providing effective engineering solutions for yourself.
Paolo's illustrious career began in 1973, tackling a range of projects – from bridge and railway building to industrial engineering. Since then, he has proven his ability to deliver innovative engineering solutions for myriad projects, time and again.
Instead of listing the types of projects Paolo has tackled during the course of his career, we thought it more prudent to list the types he hasn’t – but to be honest we’re having trouble thinking of any.
Since completing his degree in 1972, Paolo career has taken him around the world, tackling a diverse range of roles and challenges in Australia, Europe. Today, as a leading figure at GCSE, his primary focus is training and conceptual designs, drawing on his extensive experience, which spans:
Structural design of large steel and concrete structures (industrial, marine, slipways, bridges, retaining walls) Further The structural work recorded is all my personal work over the years and certainly in the last 3 years has included multi storey residential high rise , medium density inclusive of foundations and structure , including piling , and earthquake code compliance and currently working on six storey frame construction designs including post-tensioned transfer slabs, bridge design, certifications.
My present professional practices in the functions following:
Michael Gray has over 40 years of design, project and construction management experience on rail, mining, road, tunnel, marine, airfield, power and defence works. Throughout his career he has developed and delivered significant projects for contractors, State and Local Governments, defence and major private organisations which have utilised his solid leadership skills and specialist knowledge.
Michael is well known to the construction industry and is respected for his consultative and team approach to working through all project matters. Michael’s most recent role has been with AECOM as Construction Director on the Ravensworth North Project (infrastructure and rail) and before that he was Operations Manager for BMD Constructions, had senior roles with Kellogg Brown and Root, Gutteridge Haskins and Davey, Thiess Bros and Thiess Contractors, Roads & Traffic Authority (RTA) and the Electricity Commission NSW. He has always worked in the development and delivery of major infrastructure and has capabilities in planning, design management, approvals coordination and with contract delivery.
Michael has the skills necessary to take any project through design and cost validation, design finalisation, commercial close and government approvals. He has had numerous industry workings with most major and Tier 2 contractors over many years and is able to operate in most arenas from concept planning to ultimate project delivery as design manager or contract superintendent through to construction management. His broad industry experience, from rail infrastructure, power industry, coal mine planning and delivery and major civil and urban development works gives Michael a confident overview of all aspects of construction delivery. He is regarded to be well able to work with owner teams and approval authorities to achieve joint desired outcomes.
Michael specialises in planning and delivery within time and cost budget targets.
