Michael Wade - Arcadis

Michael Wade

Associate Project Director, Arcadis

I am a senior Construction and Infrastructure leader with over 20 years’ experience delivering major, complex capital projects across Australia, including transport, rail, defence, health, education, and large-scale urban development.

My expertise spans the full project lifecycle—from strategy and planning through to procurement and construction delivery—bringing a practical, delivery-focused perspective grounded in extensive site experience. I specialise in driving programme certainty, managing risk, and achieving strong commercial and client outcomes in complex environments.

I have led high-performing, multidisciplinary teams and fostered collaborative cultures that enable accountability, innovation, and consistent performance. Working closely with clients, consultants, and contractors, I focus on unlocking value and optimising delivery across increasingly complex urban projects.

With Sydney’s rapid growth, I am passionate about improving productivity and delivering resilient, future-ready infrastructure that supports sustainable urban development and creates lasting value for communities.
