Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLawrence Billson is a Senior Design Engineer specialising in communications and networks with 11+ years of experience delivering resilient WANs, wireless/microwave links and secure systems across heavy industry and defence. He has led network engineering at BHP and WSP and now architected large-scale communications projects for Fluor, bringing practical systems engineering and risk-managed design to mission-critical deployments. Lawrence is motivated by seeing systems he designs come to life—whether enabling remote workers to stay connected or automating heavy equipment—and prides himself on measurable operational value. His background spans telecom incumbents (AT&T), defence deployable LANs, and enterprise security, giving him a rare combination of field-hardened delivery and standards-driven design. A fast learner and inclusive leader with formal training in systems engineering and project management, he quietly excels at translating complex requirements into robust, maintainable networks.
