Our Speaker

Richard Lawrence is the GE TRDC Engineering and site manager at the GE-owned / StandardAero-operated facility located at the JR International Airport.  After graduation, Richard worked in fan development/engineering/sales at Alphair Ventilating Systems (now Howden Fan).  In 2006 he moved to become a Facility Engineer at StandardAero.  In 2011 GE approached StandardAero to design and manage building of the GE Testing Research and Development Centre (TRDC) at J R International Airport, working in conjunction with engineers at General Electric in Cincinnati, Ohio.  After working in design and project management roles for the GE9X $26M facility upgrade in 2017, Richard became the Site Operations Manager.
